Hey there everybody, welcome on into a Thursday installment of the Lockdown Patriots podcast. Mark Schofield here in the big chair for today, Thursday, March 21st, 2019. We got a pretty big show today. We're going to dive into a topic, a name that has been bandied about this entire draft process. But before we do that, before we do anything, a reminder to follow me on Twitter at Mark Schofield. Check out the work in places like InsideThePylon.com, Pro Football Weekly, The Score, Matt Waldman's Rookie Scouting Portfolio, a bevy of SB Nation websites, including Big Blue View, Bleeding Green Nation where I co-host the Kist and Solak show with Michael Kist, and of course Pat's Pulpit where I'm going to be doing some Patriots QB draft profiles over the next couple of things just to touch on at the top of the show. We might save some time in the Friday show to dive into these a bit more. First, Robert Kraft

seems to be shying away from taking what was a proposed sort of plea agreement, plea arrangement. Yesterday, I alluded to the fact that he was going to take some sort of agreement where he would admit that there was enough evidence to prosecute and convict him on the solicitation charge, but that the charges would be dropped. It seems that he is not going to do that and wants to fight this further. So this process might drag on a little bit longer than we expected. In addition, some other Patriots sort of tangentially related news. Rumors bandied about that the Patriots are at least kicking the tires on Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard. I was on with Matt Williamson on my weekly Wednesday spot on the Locked On NFL podcast.

We were talking Patriots, so you might want to check that out. We did get into the wide receiver room a bit. I mentioned position groups the Patriots fans were worried about, and Matt immediately said wide receiver. That is a concern both obviously within Patriots Nation and of course on a more national level, obviously Matt being a national guy. Other thing I did want to mention, I talked about this with Matt as well, Ohio State's pro day. Dwayne Haskins threw the ball all over the place.

I've said here and elsewhere that pro days do not matter that much, but Haskins certainly looked the part again during his pro day at Ohio State on Wednesday. I don't put a ton of stock into pro days, as I've said, but he is certainly making this little push here. Everybody's talking about Kyler Murray. Dwayne Haskins said, wait a second. There were a lot of people who said I was QB1. I'm still QB1. He looked the part at his pro day on Wednesday. Where am I going to end up ultimately on Haskins versus Murray? It's something I'm going to talk through a little bit, maybe Friday's show or a little bit later, because it's a fascinating debate. I'm working through it still.

It's one of those two guys as QB1. I just don't know which one yet. I was leaning Haskins, then Murray. I keep going back and forth. But that's for a later date ahead though right now we get to talk Josh Rosen we get a fantastic guest to do that and as I said look we got a fantastic guest to break down a quarterback that has been bandied about through this entire pre-draft process partly because of the buzz around Kyler Murray and that quarterback is Josh Rosen and that guest is my friend Blake Murphy. He is a writer and a podcast host over at Revenge of the Birds where he covers the Arizona Cardinals. And he also, pertinent to our discussion here, is a former scouting intern with the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena League.

When Blake talks quarterbacks or prospects in general, I pay attention. You should too. And you can do that by following him on Twitter at Blake Murphy, the number seven. Yes, he puts ketchup on his mac and cheese, but you can ignore that because the football takes are fantastic. Blake, buddy, how you doing, my friend? I'm doing great. And I got to say, this year was kind of a redemption tour almost for me. As soon as Patrick Mahomes revealed that he also put ketchup on his macaroni and cheese, I feel like I'm suddenly in some sort of elite company now. Blake, I'm pretty sure your Twitter account melted when that was announced, because I feel like everybody at Football Twitter hit you with the ad when they saw that.

Yeah, that was, I guess, I set that up as my brand, and everyone, just as soon as it dropped in the timeline, I just all of a sudden saw that my mentions were just blowing up, and I was just like, okay, what happened here? And something go on. And it was, nope, it was just, it was, you know, major quarterback at least ended up going on and put ketchup on his macaroni and cheese. And I was like, all right, there's a little bit of justification that I'm not the only one. There you go. And look, as somebody that's known more for Toto than quarterbacks, like I get it, like when the brand sticks, you just roll with it and speaking of brands look you know your scouting work is fantastic your coverage of the cardinals is fantastic people do have to

check you out people have been talking about josh rosen this entire draft process obviously partly you know the the kyle murray situation and so to have this discussion i feel like we should set it this way where were you on rosen when he came Yeah, when he came out, I think the way that I was at least coached up or taught how to look at from scouting, especially from a quarterback perspective, was looking at different thresholds that quarterbacks are meeting as far as being able to judge success. A lot of times people don't realize that, you know, for every outlier, like a Tom Brady or a Doug Flutie, there's the vast majority of quarterbacks who don't hit those certain thresholds aren't going to turn out or are going to only be a certain level in the NFL.

So when going through Rosen and seeing not just the thresholds he hit and then following that back up with the, or viewing it on tape and then making sure that, you know, the numbers and everything matched what you saw. I thought that he was a guy who would go with a top five pick in just about any draft. He was my quarterback two that year. I did have Baker first overall, since I do put a lot of emphasis, not just with the completion percentages, but early dominance and being able to show a lot of the difference between the accuracy and precision where you're placing passes, reading defenses. So I felt that he was a guy who was probably a franchise quarterback level, at least coming out. If you put him into a situation where he'd be able to execute smart, consistent passes, you'd be able to have enough protection.

Didn't have as much mobility as most of the other guys in the class. Had enough mobility to make sense when he was on the field, being able to at least get away from some of the pressure. And he ended up in a spot in Arizona where, on paper, it seemed like it was a decent fit being able to be in a more pro style offense with mccoy i felt like the cardinals by moving up for him um they seem to have enough interest in him that they you know there's a lot of talk with rosen about the whether it was off field about leadership qualities there were comparisons to jay cutler the team essentially when i met him didn't think that a lot of those

narratives stuck some of the questions that still remain at least are is he you know a guy who's got a ceiling at a certain level is is going to be maybe a high floor low ceiling guy is he going to be you know guy who's going to be perfect on the whiteboard some of those things have stayed consistent but when rosen came in he essentially after he became the starter took over as a leader on the team in a lot of different ways and proved some of those pre-draft narratives wrong. Some of them, you know, some people are arguing that it's still right, but he's not been in a great situation so far to see how much of that's him and how much of that is still the supporting cast around him. Let's talk a little bit about his rookie season, because when these rumors started, I went back and watched his year last year, and I came away thinking

that part of the negative thoughts about Rosen stemmed from some sort of recency bias because I love, for example, his first start against Seattle. I loved that game in Green Bay. I thought he did some fantastic things in those games. But then later you see him get benched a couple of times. You see him struggle in those later games. And I feel like the perception of Josh Rosen maybe stems from those later games. Do you share that? What are your thoughts on his rookie season? Yeah, well, it was interesting. When he took over, he was immediately thrust into a terrible situation. The Cardinals, the first two games, they were down, I think it was like 24 to 6. It was their first game of the season. The entire

perception of where the team was with their talent level, they wanted to be a run-first team that would be able to stop the run and be able to create turnovers. And they were doing the opposite. They ended up ranking 32nd against the run at the end of the year, and they were, I believe, 32nd in running the ball as well for the most part of the season just because they were ravaged not just by injury on the offensive line but just a terrible scheme

and a lot of poor coaching. You had a lot of commentary, at least, on how David Johnson would get run into an eight-man box all the time. And so if you're running a space player into the interior part of the line, it just showed through. Mike McCoy got fired after the Broncos game. And I think what happened with the rest of the season was after the takeover, at least, by Byron Leftwich, you saw a lot of the same issues still remained there was some some boosts in the play calling like there was sometimes you saw screen passes that were you know a little bit well called or at least pretty well designed but eventually it

dried up and at the end of the year it just kind of turned into this malaise of you know rosen being back there the ball would be run on first and second down to be third and long and he'd get hit just because there would be almost immediate pressure and the play call wouldn't do him any favors at all his guys weren't able to separate so i think a lot of it is people are looking at it saying gosh like he doesn't have as much of the mobility that were you know the other quarterbacks were able to use in some sense to be able to find success um and i think a lot of the times when he would have some interceptions or turnovers at least that it stemmed from all of that. There were improvements that you did get to see.

But whenever your team ends up with the number one pick, usually it ends up being a negative stigma for the most part. I think that's part of what stuck up. What's interesting to me, and you talked about the Seattle game, was one of the things I noted about him was that when you look at when a team has the ability to make a comeback or in position to make a game-winning drive, Rosen had eight opportunities for game-winning drives this year in San Fran, twice in Seattle, Oakland, the Green Bay game, which you mentioned, Kansas City, the first game he had in Chicago in the Rams, and of those games, there were five of them he effectively executed on what you could call a game-winning drive

where he put the team in position to succeed, drove them down the field, and three of those games were lost, not on him, the Seattle game. The first one, at least, had a play call on third and two, which was a delayed stretch handoff rather than putting it on his arm. They kicked the field goal, missed the field goal. Seattle came back and drove down with Wilson to win. Very similar in the second Seattle game, where a pass was dropped on third down that

would have put the team essentially in, I believe it was either field goal range or in the red zone to be able to score, take a touchdown and take the lead. Instead, Seattle takes over, drives down, wins the game. And in the Raiders game, the defense completely imploded. So if you're looking at whether the pressure and it's on the line for the most part he executed and did what he could to put the team in a position to win and a lot of times it was either coaching or others who sometimes let him down sometimes you can say hey the quarterback needs to rise up above that but it was interesting to me that yeah when he was put into those game winning situations of you know having to make a quick passing option when defenses weren't able to shift as much he really seemed to excel in the

game almost in some kind of in some cases slowed down for him in that sense when defenses weren't able to shift as much. He really seemed to excel in the game, almost in some cases slowed down for him in that sense. There weren't enough of those opportunities that we saw this year with the Cardinals staff. And at the end of it, a lot of the blame went toward the coaching staff and Steve Wilkes. They completely cleaned house of their coaching staff and brought in an offensive guru in Cliff Kingsbury. Blake, I want to get to Cliff in a minute before we do that though gonna pay some bills mark scofield blake murphy will be back in a second talking more about josh

rosen mark scofield blake murphy working through some josh rosen discussion and blake you did a fantastic we teed it up the hiring of cliff kingsbury what are your thoughts on that move do you think that that was done in a nod to sort of fixing the rookie quarterback? Or where do you stand on that hire with respect to Josh Rosen? Yeah, I think that what the Cardinals realized was they have a plus with a rookie quarterback contract. And they realized that not just what the NFL is doing, but by having a play caller come in and having the value of that. They saw negative play calls. It's very easy to see when you flip on the tape of just the timing of some of

the calls where you're like, okay, we're going to, after running the ball on first and second down, right up the middle, we're going to go ahead and call for, you know, four comeback routes rather than having guys running away, coming back to the ball. And Rosen gets a hit from Aaron Donald, hurts his elbow, comes back in the game. You're just like, this is something that needs to get fixed.

And the only way that you can kind of have that long-term, I guess you can say sustainability, but being able to tie a quarterback with a play caller long-term and then building around until that quarterback can effectively run the offense by themselves at least when they get to that later Peyton or Brady stages. So I think that's part of where they looked at. They also, when you see how Steve Wilkes handled the team, a lot of the reason why he was hired was with,

they did hiring the person, hiring the leader, and a lot of the issues the Cardinals ultimately had was he had a very old school football mentality, a scheme that was designed around beating people man to man. What the Cardinals realized when they saw the improvements of guys like Nagy, they were like, hey, you know, if Mitchell Trubisky can get the players to the playoffs in their second year while they have the contract, because you're able to create offense with that approach, we they looked around and were like, you know what, rather than hiring, you know, a Caldwell or a guy and then trying to get Cliff as an offensive coordinator only to see him leave in a year or two for that one,

we should probably try to build around him first and then on the defensive side, adding that leadership, copying the St. Louis Rams approach. They're looking at them across in the division. They copied a very similar mold. And I think they're trying to put an emphasis then on not just you know protecting the quarterback by addressing things with the offense and the offensive line but being able to find a guy who really worked and developed quarterbacks and had sustainable offense over the years no matter what quarterback you seem to have at Texas Tech Cliff always had

a top 10 offense in the nation and you can even see that this year of games where it's like oh Oklahoma and Texas Tech the talent level is completely different between the two schools as far as offense and defense. And yet there it goes with the calls and with being able to read the situation. They just keep churning and putting up points. So that brings us to Kyler Murray because now we're seeing the buzz around Murray. A lot of people are saying he's the best quarterback in this draft. PFF, for example, say he's the best player in this draft. Arizona has now met with Murrayray's sort of post combine is the murray interest real is it a

smokescreen a combination of the two what do you think about that yeah i think that and this is kind of what's interesting is when you look at the uh with how the success of baker mayfield was last year with being able to find the accuracy and then the athleticism Murray and Kyler essentially are in some cases almost like I can't say complete opposites as quarterbacks but where Rosen is successful and really kind of is able to dial in is with a lot of those intermediate passing routes whether it's like with slants or being able to hit in those intermediate zones whereas Murray's got the you know the large big arm and he's able to when he's under pressure pressure, rather than having to go to his reads and progressions and trying to step up in the pocket, he can pull the ball down,

run, be able to escape. And so in that sense, I think a lot of people are looking at Cliff Kingsbury and his offense, the fact that he recruited him, and they look right at Patrick Mahomes and they're saying, hey, look, that seems like it's a match made in heaven where when the play breaks down, you've got mobility to run, being able to spread the ball all over the field, seeing what Oklahoma did in that offense. I think that they're seeing a natural fit. The one thing I'll say, at least, for that is I don't know if that's particularly the case, because it's not like Cliff only had

Patrick Mahomes and only had success. He's had guys who have not been able to move much in the pocket, like a Davis Webb, even had a Baker Mayfield that he's able to perform with. The fact that he can adapt a lot of his scheme to his quarterback means it's not necessarily that kyler is going to be able to be a fit but it's a question of is his upside and his ability you know better than josh rosen's i think that there's a possibility that that's the case but it's more i think built on the fact that i don't know if the cardinals are completely sold after a 3 and 13 season on rosen within the building perhaps they are, and it is a smokescreen. But you look at the fact that they brought in a new coach who didn't have a connection, at least with Rosen for this past year,

while the rest of the scouting department and people who did scout him did. They brought in a bunch of Broncos coaches who passed on him last year, took Bradley Chubb. And I just wonder, at least, if there's a little bit of truth that's in there. But a lot of the stuff that doesn't make sense to me, Mark, is if you are going to take Kyler Murray at number one, what's the point of letting everyone know that now? Because you're kind of losing a lot of leverage, at least on Josh Rosen. And, you know, and even if you were going to say, hey, we're going to take Kyler number one, the fact that the Cardinals aren't taking calls, aren't trading him is a bit curious then, because you'd want to say, hey, let's open up the phone phone start a bidding war for that one if we know

for sure that we're taking this guy so i don't think that the decision has been made yet and the fact that the cardinals seem to be very publicly oh hey we've got uh you know public letting people know we're going and working him out despite the fact that we have josh um you know having i think rich eisen's show even talked about all these low-level scouts at the combine here like you buy one beer and they say, oh, yeah, Cardinals are drafting Murray. And I think that it's a lot of it is that maybe there's some truth to the reality of some people aren't completely sold on Josh Rosen, but there's not a reason for them to push it out or let it out unless they really wanted people to know. Cardinals or you look at what the Cardinals or at least what I would do if I was the GM and I knew I wasn't going to take Kyler Murray I would push up Murray as much as I could try to boost that stock get someone to trade a haul of picks and try to see if I could build that around Josh Rosen essentially we've kind of seen that happen Kyler Murray went from a guy who wasn't going to be you know he's going to be playing major league baseball to suddenly he's all right he's in he's a first

round pick for that one so now all of a sudden he's going number one. It doesn't matter with any other player. It just matters of which team he's going to at the number one pick. So that's just been kind of the crazy rise to that. It's all kind of put a lot of interest, obviously, in the Cardinals. And I think a lot of it is more and more interesting. I talk to people, it's like, you know, it just, it seems so obvious that we, every past year, we haven't known this early this soon that's gonna be the case and it's a little bit too much to say that kyler murray is that andrew luck type of

quarterback he's got his own flaws he's got a lot of things there's a lot of rawness that's there the athleticism and the upside is definitely there and it's also you know tough to see steve kime who's been more of a traditional kind of fit some of the bruce arians mold and also take an outlier quarterback with their rookie head coach who's only been with the staff for you know a matter of almost two months or so now so a lot of the things that line up to me just don't seem to make as much sense and it's a little surprising still that you know it just seems to be a commonly accepted fact that you know he's going number one cliff wants his guy and maybe that's the case but i'm i'm more inclined to doubt it and think that

the more that you hear the cardinals saying that they're taking in drafting Murray, it's almost like the opposite effect may be true. Well, what we're going to do next after we take this little break, we're going to make Blake make his decision. What would he do if he were in charge? That's ahead here on Locked on Patriots. Mark Schofield, Blake Murphy to close out this Thursday episode of Locked on Patriots. And Blake, look, we've teed it up for you. We're now putting you in the spot. You've got the big office, the corner office.

You've got to make the call. If you were Steve Kime, if it was your decision, who is taking the snaps for Arizona next year? Is it Rosen? Is it Murray? Are you going a completely different direction? What would you be doing? Yeah, for me, I think what I would be looking at was I would be keeping Josh Rosen

because all the things that he showed in his first year, yeah for me i think what i would be looking at was uh i would be keeping josh rosen uh because all the things that he showed in his first year like we talked about with the ways that he had the comeback drives the way that he's able to show a lot of the toughness proved a lot of things wrong for that one i think that there's a lot more of a known quantity that you have and you can say all right here's what we know we have we can now build around that build around the strengths i think that cliff as far as a fit of being able to bring in some of those collegiate concepts, I think is a fantastic fit. And it's not that he's going to be standing back throwing the ball, you know, 60 times a game. He had a very balanced offense. If you look, he ran the ball about 45% of the time at Tech this last season. I think that you're going to be able to

see if you see improvements of, hey, we're going to tweak this here or there. We'll fix some of the protections, make a lot of the reads easier while the quarterback is developing. Then I think that you're going to get a guy who's going to be able to deliver the ball you know on time accurately be able to be the it's very similar honestly if you were to talk about with the patriots like trying to build around some of those intermediate routes and then taking a couple of the deep shots one-on-one outside you probably would want to construct the team the same way so what i would do is I would trade down, if I could, with a team like the Raiders or a team that might be moving up from Murray, trying to get fair value for the pick.

Otherwise, if you're looking at how the Cardinals are built, the team ultimately, I think, could take Nick Bosa and recognize, hey, Chandler Jones' contract is up in three years. We can add an extra edge rusher. By being able to get turnovers or create sacks or create some more of those plays, it's kind of where the NFL is built around these big plays nowadays. You'd be able to just take him, have him on that rookie deal. If he works out well, then when Chandler Jones' deal is up,

you're able to sign Bosa to that deal. And you're essentially able to say, hey, Josh Rose, we've got you a defense that can create turnovers, put you in a position to succeed. Very different from the Cardinals who were low-ranked in turnovers last year and uh really really struggled to stop the run now what i will say is let's say that the cardinals are going to be dead set on murray that's what clef's guy is what i would be looking at as far as for teams as far as trading rosen i think that you're with the value that you're looking for your problem a lot of teams that i've heard is it's a third round pick because

teams just didn't value him as highly in the draft comparatively whether for one reason or another whether it was the personality of the person whether it was just the well the perception of him even though that contract is you know probably and the pick is still probably worth the first round pick in my evaluation like i think you could give up a mid first or patriots could dangle pick 32 would be a possibility if they felt that he was a guy who would fit them to take over for Brady. I think that you'd probably have to compromise in the middle with a high second round pick if you are going to move on from him. The Giants would make a lot of sense. Personally, I don't think that I would make that move for the most part because I said I would

stick with Rosen, but that's what kind of the chatter is. And, you know, crazier, crazier things have happened in the NFL. But overall, I think that he's a guy who showed a lot of area for success. And my concern is if you bring Kyler Murray into this situation where he's not an Oklahoma scheme anymore, where he's got guys like Hollywood Brown, the best offensive line in college football last year, he's going to have to be running for his life. I just wonder if it's not the right fit as far as an Arizona where he'll be able to have an immediate impact to be able to learn. Whereas we've seen Rosen take those bumps and scars and we've even seen some progress from him

as well to me it's probably not as close of a decision as i would think especially since i don't think that murray is the caliber of prospect that you're able to worth pat worth passing on him with rosen and a guy like a nick bosa at least just to be able to go and start over at the quarterback position and kind of push back the whole timeline quite a bit. Blake, let's get you out of here on this. Let's say that that is the move.

They decide Kyler is our guy. We're going Kyler Murray at pick one. Rosen is on the market. You mentioned maybe pick 32 to new England, new England, Josh Rosen. You've seen new England's offense. You know what they run you've

sort of teed it up here if that is the move do you think that is a good fit for New England would that be a situation where New England might be getting their next guy in Josh Rosen well yeah I think because of what Rosen showed this year there's three areas where I think that he needs to improve the most at least and I think all of them at least are fixable because of the how terrible things were the first thing that Rosen has to improve on ultimately is that he just needs to speed up his internal clock he looked like at times where he was just late on throws whether it was outbreaking throws or outbreaking routes he was just late and I think that some of that was whether it was too much for him to have to read the field I know one of the things about Mike McCoy's offense was

it wasn't complex so much as it was complicated. You know, simple concepts, but whether it was complicated play calls or, you know, it's just kind of we're putting this in for that, for, you know, making a long play call for a long play call's sake, and that's the way it is. The second one is he has to be able to understand a little bit better as far as where to go with the ball when you blitz him. When the Cardinals were facing the blitz last year, their offensive line was not smart enough and wasn't able to figure out little simple things like stunts or where pressure was coming from.

So the protections, at least, of being able to identify those would be another area. And then the last one that he would have to have, I think, for improvement would be being able to use, whether it's his mobility or just a little bit of the creative play calling, just to keep teams on their edge. When he did have run-pass options in college, he would easily be able to pull the ball down,

throw the ball to the tight end in the vacated area. A lot of that, I think, when you look at the best skill set and strengths for him, at least, it's just very simple to map and see his intermediate passing game with a guy like a Julian Edelman with the separation and then being able to have a big tight end target we saw with Caleb Wilson was very helpful for him in college so it's interesting with how well it lines up because if what Rosen needs to succeed is you know have protection behind the line to be able to make the time for the reads and being able to have guys who can get open from a separate he's shown that when they do get open he gets them the

ball and that's one of the things that New England ultimately has built around. So that would be kind of the best destination for him. I would even probably pick that over a place like the Giants or the Skins who are kind of a little bit going up and down. And there's questions as far as what they've done with their talent, even though I think that schematically those could be fits as well. The one thing, of course, you have to figure out is, you know, is Rosen and his personality kind of fit the New England culture with all of those areas?

Like if he's a guy who's, you know, he's not going to be in the film room versus going out and cleaning up on the beach because he's passionate about a lot of, you know, other things. Some guys don't like that they're not a football guy. So I think he proved a lot of those things wrong, but it's still going to be kind of a perception that I think some will have. And whether that perception is reality, that's going to be up to the Card the Cardinals to decide that'll be up for a team like New England to decide should they decide to trade for him if he becomes available and again I still lean I've told people I think it's still right now 95% Rosen just because it's so much but I'm still opening up

that five percent at least that it could end up being that the Cardinals are just going to be very very blatant about what they want to do this year by selecting Kyler Murray at number one overall and taking on a pretty decent cap hit and a pretty decent sunk cost for moving on from Josh Rosen after just drafting him last year, trading up for him at number 10 overall. Well, that is fantastic stuff, Blake. You've crushed it today, as I knew you would. Please let everybody know where they can follow you, where they can check out your work. Yeah, I'm one of the co-hosts on the Revenge of the Birds podcast.

We do actually spend quite a bit of time going over, like, we love quarterbacks, so we'll cover the Cardinals. We just had a free agency podcast that we dropped, and we also have an upcoming episode with QB Klaus as well, just breaking down. What do we see with Rosen from his year? What do we see with Kyler Murray? Is there really a best fit for Cliff's offense and where should the Cardinals go? That'll be coming up later this week.

Otherwise, I'm on Twitter at BlakeMurphy7. I'm just, if you need to drop me a line for the most part, and it'll be good times to be hit by all. That's fantastic stuff. And for those members

of the Locked On Patriots Slack channel that are re-watching Game of Thrones right now, I know there are lots of you. Blake dropped a piece recently talking about Steve Kime, Tyrion Lannister, and what they will do with the first overall selection. So who will win the Game of Thrones?

That's how we teed it up. You've got to check that out. That will do it for today. I will be back Friday. Until next time, keep it locked right here to me, Mark Schofield, and Locked on Patriots. you
