I would say that those are the only real teams (Cards, Giants, Broncos, Raiders, and Dolphins) that are in the running to draft a QB in the first round and no one seems to want to give anything for Rosen, so...

There is a very good chance that Murray would go to the Cards and the Giants would take Haskins.  As far as who would take Lock,  I have no idea.  If the Cards don't take Murray, look for the Dolphins to try and jump in front of the Broncos to get him.  I would call them and make a trade offer for their second rounder so they would know they could get him or the Bengals could select Murray.  

As much as I would prefer Haskins, Let's not forget this is a business and they are going to want to try and sell tickets.  Can you imagine Murray in the same division with Mayfield and Jackson?  The only QB that is a traditional drop back would be Piggy.

You might say Miami wouldn't make that trade because Green Bay isn't taking a QB, but if they think the Bengals will unless they make the trade, it could be interesting.  I know Miami is all about trying to make a splash, and Murray would certainly do that.  Either way, it will be very interesting.  

I would say that the Dolphins absolutely have to draft a young QB as they have basically Fitzpatrick and nothing else.

If I'm the Raiders, I stay with Carr.
