Jim Mora on Josh Rosen and his perfect fit for his former QB

[gmf1369]

If Jim Mora could pick a team for his former quarterback Josh Rosen to end up with Thursday night in the NFL draft, that team would be wearing green and white.

“I think he’d be a fantastic fit with the Jets,”

said Mora, the former UCLA coach who has served as an analyst for the NFL Network on its “Path to the Draft” program.

“Josh is kind of ready to go. You give him the keys to the offense, teach it to him, and then he’s going to master it pretty quickly. He’s that type of kid. I think he’d be a tremendous fit with that coaching staff, with that city. I think it would be a great spot for him.”

There are people inside the Jets’ organization who like Rosen a lot. Some people around the NFL believe the Jets are debating whether to take Rosen or Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield with the No. 3 pick. Rosen blew away members of the Jets’ coaching staff with his intelligence. He is viewed by many experts as the most ready quarterback to play immediately.

“I’m hoping that’s where he ends up,”

Mora said.

“I’m hoping he ends up with the Giants or the Jets. I want to see him go as high as possible, but I think the Jets would be a great place for him.”

I love the way Rosen stood up for himself in that interview yesterday. Some people don't like it, but I love it. I love it about Mayfield and I loved it about Rosen. Its not arrogance, its confidence, and I'm a big believer that your QB has to be confident, bordering on cocky. Anyway that really impressed me about Rosen.

With one of Darnold, Rosen, and Mayfield definitely available for the Jets at 3, tomorrow will be a very, very good day for this franchise.

Mary Kay Cabot (Cleveland Plain Dealer) said the Browns narrowed it down to Allen or Mayfield. Now its reported they have made a decision, we don't know which one, but if she's right it will be one of those two.

Me too, because if anyone wants to leap us now; Buffalo, Miami or Arizona, it will cost them a fortune to go all the way up to 1 or 2. Like I said yesterday, they would essentially have to pay the kind of price that cripples their chances to build a good team around their new QB.

For all the criticism the front office got by some in the media for jumping up to #3, it is starting to look like a very good position to hold.

If the Browns take Allen, that gives the Jets even more options, especially if the Giants don't deal their pick and instead take Barkley. Could you IMAGINE having the choice of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield at #3?

That is the ideal scenario. Allen goes #1, Giants take Barkley. The Jets would be assured, I’m assuming, the top QB on their board. Assuming Allen wasn’t their top choice, which I think is likely the case.
