2018 NFL Draft: Key strengths and weaknesses for Josh Rosen

Strength: Fearless Playmaker

There’s a thin line between taking care of the ball and knowing when to take chances. It’s one that a vast majority of quarterbacks struggle to toe, as the temptation of the big play and the fear of a potential turnover become overwhelming factors.

One of the primary reasons Josh Rosen has captured the imagination of NFL general managers is the fact that he isn’t afraid to cross that line.

As previously acknowledged, Rosen is the most accurate intermediate passer in this draft class. He also has a big arm and deep ball accuracy that has enabled him to earn the label of the most well-rounded pocket passer on the board.

Not only is Rosen able to go over the top of the safeties, but he shows no fear in leading his wide receivers to their spots on deep throws.

It’s one thing for a quarterback to have a big arm; it’s admittedly a necessary part of the equation. It’s another thing entirely to have the vision and accuracy to complete throws into tight coverage, however, and that’s exactly what Rosen possesses.

Rosen can make all of the throws. Most importantly, he can read and anticipate coverages, and pass his receivers open.
