Interesting that Josh Rosen, who many seem to think is a self-centered jerk, has said he is looking forward to playing one more game with his teammates, even though he may well be the first QB picked in the draft.

Say what you want about that dude, but he loves to compete.

Kansas State has the #97 ranked NCAA defense, giving up 432 yards per game.  I imagine Josh is going to have a monster day.

We know he loves to compete, and we know that he's a first round draft pick.  At that level, every incremental pick is worth a lot of money.  The total contract of the first selection was $30.427 mms.  Each succeeding pick in the first five was about $1 mms. less than the others over the life of the contract, then a $3 mms. drop to #6, and another $2.5 mms. drop to #7 and a $2 mms. drop to #8 (CMAC).  The #10 selection got $16 mms., the #32 selection got roughly half of that.

I imagine Rosen wants to be in the top 1/3 very badly.  UCLA's passing offense is ranked fifth in the country behind (in order) Okla St, Wash St., Oklahoma (and Mayfield) and New Mexico.

Rosen's body of work this year was amazing.  No way he drops out of the first round.  But where he goes in the first round?  That's up to the GMs who will be watching his bowl game very closely.
