Cardinals Draft New QB At 10th Overall Pick
The Cardinals plucked the UCLA quarterback in the first round Thursday night.

DALLAS, TX — The Arizona Cardinals used their 10th overall draft pick to snag Josh Rosen, a star quarterback out of UCLA. The NFL draft, which began Thursday in Dallas, is continuing Friday at 4 p.m.
Rosen joined Baker Mayfield (Cleveland), Sam Darnold (Jets) and Josh Allen (Buffalo) in the list of quarterbacks picked in the top ten.
Bradford is still the Cardinals' starting quarterback, coach Steve Wilks said, according to ESPN. He'll make sure the 11 best players are the ones on the field, he said.

Rosen isn't objecting. “I am not Team Josh Rosen playing on the Arizona Cardinals,” he said, ESPN reported. “I am part of the Arizona Cardinals and I want to win Super Bowls for the Arizona Cardinals. I think over time that will work. That will happen.”
ESPN also reported Rosen was "pissed" that he was picked as low as number 10.

"I thought I should've been picked at 1, 2 or 3," Rosen said. "I dropped, and I was pissed. I was really, really angry. I wasn't really showing it. I was trying to keep calm, cool, composed. But I thought I was going to get picked, and I thought I was going to have to put on a face and try and fake happiness. But for some reason, right when I got that call, that's not what happened. I got really happy and really motivated," he said, according to ESPN.
