If they can't recoup a 1st or high 2nd I don't believe they move him, meaning I don't believe they take Murray in that case. Some teams with vet QB's like San Diego, Oakland, New England, Possibly the Giants 2nd round pick. Where Rosen could go and sit for a year may be intriguing. The contract alone with potential makes him worth more than the third people keep throwing out. This is the same league where Nathan Peterman and Blaine Gabbert still find work. 

It's the hot take today, but as we get closer to the draft his value will go up not because what he is but because coaches who loved him in the draft will go back to the tape and decide they can "fix him" like they always seem to do.

Edit: Now that I think about it, pick 30 from New Orleans held by the Packers actually seems like a realistic possibility. Many people related Rodgers demeanor to be similar to Rosen. They have a history of the QB stashing and with a 2nd 1st in play they still can improve right now. I could see them sending 30 overall for Rosen and a 4th.

The QB trade market this year is going to be totally out of whack.  I don't see how the Cards can ask for a 1st or high 2 for Rosen when Flacco is being dealt for a rumored 4th rounder.  Flacco has that monster contract, but he's also a SB MVP and quite a bit better than Rosen.  The 49'ers gave up a 2nd rounder for Garrapolo to come in and be a starter.  I just don't see anyone giving that for a guy that needs to sit for at least a year.

I also feel that if you're sold enough on Murray or any other QB to take them at #1 if you can move Rosen, you're sold enough to take them at #1 if you can't move Rosen.  You're basically saying Murray is that good and/or Rosen is that bad.  There will be teams willing to take Rosen for a mid round pick if you're that worried about conflict.

Of course, this can also just be a complete smokescreen and the Cards are trying to move down a few spots by putting a scare in a QB needy team.
