It has been debated whether or not Rosen should be selected #1 overall by the Cleveland Browns as USC’s Sam Darnold and Penn State’s Saquon Barkley have also been popular picks to go first by several draft experts. Either way, the strong armed former Bruin is going early in the draft, especially with his impressive resume..
Last season, Rosen was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the nation, despite his team’s overall performance. Though UCLA finished 6-7 in 2017, Rosen’s personal passing achievements are some of the best in the nation as he threw for 3,756 yards (14th in the nation). But keep in mind, that was only in 11 games. Per contest, Rosen threw for 341.5 yards (2nd in the nation). Clearly he has talent, the question now is who gets to select him.
Miller has been a bit of a surprise. Though he did an admirable job on the left side of the Bruins’ offensive line, he really made a name for himself with an impressive showing at the NFL Combine. Not only did he run a position best 4.95 40-yard dash, he set a combine record for linemen with a 10 foot, 1 inch broad jump. Since then, Miller has seen his name rise in several mock drafts as a late first-round selection.
