The one thing that I love about Rosen is that he stepped in as a freshman and was one of the better QBs in college.  The stage wasn't too big for him.  He's taken a pretty crappy UCLA team and made them competitive.

I will shoot my TV if Josh Allen is taken in Round 1 or 2.  He's simply not ready.

I wouldn't mind Lamar Jackson, but I don't like him nearly as much as Darnold and Rosen

Sam Darnold did the same, but better IMO.
USC before Darnold went 8-6 (6-3 in conf play).
USC with true freshman Darnold went 10-3 including a 9 game winning streak, won the PAC 12 and Rose Bowl.
USC is also still undefeated this year at 4-0.

Meanwhile, UCLA went from a 10-3 team in 2014 to 8-5 in 2015 with freshman Rosen.
Then in 2016, sophomore Rosen led UCLA to 3-5 before being out for the remainder of the season.
And is Rosen really making them competitive again this year? They are 2-2 with Rosen under center.

I'm not saying Rosen is bad, I'm just saying his impact on the overall success of the team may not be as high as you indicate.
