Josh Rosen goes to Cardinals after trade with Raiders

The Raiders traded away the No. 10 pick to the Cardinals in exchange for the No. 15 pick, as well as picks No. 79 and No. 152 in this year's draft. With that pick the Cardinals selected UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen.
Fantasy Impact:
Some were shocked to see Rosen fall as far as he did, though he never appeared to be in the No. 1 overall conversation while the other "big three" were, so it's not all that shocking. Rosen is the most pro-ready quarterback in this draft, but the Cardinals just paid Sam Bradford a lot of guaranteed money to be the starter for them in 2018. Still, we'd expect Rosen to take over sooner rather than later, whether that be due to performance or injury with the brittle Bradford. Playing behind the Cardinals offensive line won't do him any favors, but he's now there for the long haul. This is good news for the Cardinals pass-catchers, though we don't know who will be starting alongside Larry Fitzgerald in 2018.
