So Glad I'm not an AZ Cardinals fan

[Megatron96]

And again, love the fact that I'm not a Cardinals fan (anymore; I was as a kid growing up in Columbia MO).

Is there any reason for NOT trading Rosen for picks/players before drafting Kyler yesterday? I can't think of one. A single one. I used to have some respect for Steve Keim, now I just have to shake my head and wonder just how dumb he really is.

Guess there could be a couple. 1) they actually really were on the fence about drafting Kyler #1. I mean they opened training camp, Rosen reported and Klingsbury has been working him out for a week. It is possible the new staff was giving him a chance to show he was their QB. It seems like right up to the end they had BOSA in for workouts etc. They did not tell Rosen to stay away.

2) The teams wanting a QB maybe were holding off for the 1st round to see if Haskins or Jones would fall to them. or that up to this point the Cards thought maybe they could still get a 1. Probably more the later. I could see the Rosen being the skins fall back option after Haskens and Miami interested in Haskens or Jones depending on which Defensive player available as well.
