30. Josh Rosen, Miami Dolphins

In all fairness to Josh Rosen, he wasn’t necessarily put into a position to succeed during his rookie season with the Cardinals. At the same time, he was disappointing for the team that jumped up to draft him 10th overall in the 2018 draft.

Rosen played in 14 games. He completed just over 55 percent of his passes for 2,278 yards and 11 touchdowns. Keeping the ball out of harm’s way was an issue for him, as he threw 14 picks and fumbled the ball 10 times.

Either way, Rosen had a pretty modest season for a rookie quarterback surrounded by minimal talent and playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in football. He was sacked a ton, being brought to the ground 45 times.

The Dolphins took a chance on Rosen by trading for him this offseason. In a low-risk, high-reward move, he will be placed in a situation to succeed in 2019.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is also under contract with the team, but it’s fair to say this is Rosen’s job to lose. The Dolphins brought him in to see what he can do. If it doesn’t work, then the team will look for another option in the draft. If he does play well, Rosen will be the man in Miami for years to come.
