Rosen or Darnold?

[jnappy]

I'm OTC in a 12-team SF rookie draft.

The first five picks went:
Saquon
Penny
Guice
Baker

Which QB should I take at 1.05?

I would never draft a QB playing for the Jets.

That's kinda how I feel too...

Rosen for sure.... better team, similar talent

Rosen

I know on paper it seemed like Darnold was a real agile guy in the pocket but it seems like Rosen is as "good" of an athlete as Darnold...albeit a little bit slower.

I've had these two as equal this entire time, and he's what I'm uncertain of:

- Both AZ + NYJ had awful OLines in 2017, but both did sign some new guys.

- USC QBs just haven't been successful, it's weird to blame the system but USC likes to keep "in-house" coaches..guys who have come from another's tree.

- From a stat perspective, Darnold has the edge on Rosen but you're trusting New York and their new OC, whom I know nothing about.

- Rosen has had his fair share of injuries, especially the 2 concussions...will that become a problem? Mike McCoy is his OC, whose track record isn't great with QB development.

My head tells me that Rosen is the "safer" pick but my gut feels like Darnold may have a shot in NY.

I don't know how anyone could pick darnold over rosen, given the team and talent they each possess

Small thing to consider

Over the past two seasons, Darnold had 332 rushing yards and 7 rushing TDS while Rosen has NEGATIVE 169 and 4 TDS rushing.

I’m not saying that the same will happen in the NFL, but if it did, it works out to something like 34 points per season (2-something points per game).

An even bigger thing to consider: The NCAA counts sacks as negative rushing yardage for a QB, whereas the NFL does not. So that "negative 169" is actually pretty much all from sacks.

They're my top 2 QBs in this class, but I prefer Rosen slightly.

Rosen. Better talent and better situation.
