UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is set to meet with the Browns, Jets, Giants, Cards, Broncos, Bills, and Chargers in the coming weeks, according to Peter King of The MMQB. Cleveland gets the first crack at Rosen with a visit lined up for this week.

King suspects that the Browns will ask Rosen about recent comments made by his former head coach, Jim Mora, in which he advocated for USC Sam Darnold go to No. 1 overall.
“Because of fit, I would take Sam Darnold if I were the Cleveland Browns. I think that blue collar, gritty attitude, I think his teammates will love him, I think the city will love him. He’ll say the right things. He will come in and he will represent well. I think he kind of represents what Cleveland is. And if I was one of the New York teams, I would take Josh *snap* just like that. I think they will both be great in the pros.”
In his conversation with King, Mora expounded on those thoughts a bit, but didn’t exactly backtrack.
“He needs to be challenged intellectually so he doesn’t get bored,” Mora said, while reemphasizing the angle of Rosen needing the proper “fit.” “He’s a millennial. He wants to know why. Millennials, once they know why, they’re good. Josh has a lot of interests in life. If you can hold his concentration level and focus only on football for a few years, he will set the world on fire. He has so much ability, and he’s a really good kid.”
Mora’s comments may be a topic of discussion for interested teams, but it would be shocking to see Rosen fall any further than the Jets at No. 3.
good luck with him giants
I think he will be one of the best QBs in this draft. While he may not have the biggest arm he is the more accurate passer and great in the pocket. I thing Mayfield and Darnold will turn out to be bust. While Allen will be successful if on the right team and Jackson could be like Vick minus the off field problems. Lets just hope that he wins a SB though unlike Vick. Thats the thing about the draft, you NEVER know who will turn out great or where they will go. Just ask Bo Callahan lol
Did Rosen call Jim Mora and ask him to tank his draft stock? Because if so, great job Mora… additionally, someone let mora know that every player in the draft is a millennial and that what he said about Rosen May be true of mayfield/Darnold/Jackson/Allen and he just may not know any better. So it may be best for Mora to just stfu for a while.
Mora is an idiot, it’s also him being pissed being fired.
And which team did not get a rose?
Mora’s comment is both obviously anti-semetic and probably accurate.
