The Cardinals put Josh Rosen in a promo video after they didn’t
I think their ask for a 2nd rounder just became a 3rd rounder.If you want to get paralysis from analysis, try to figure out what the Arizona Cardinals social media team is doing.
In the first of two videos posted to Twitter after the NFL’s schedule release, the team spliced together clips of upcoming home game opponents mixed with Cardinals highlights on Wednesday. Many a fan and media member pointed out quarterback Josh Rosen wasn’t in the video, maybe because he could be traded in the near future if Arizona drafts fellow quarterback Kyler Murray next week.
Then on Thursday, the Cardinals released a new video featuring their road opponents … and this time featured Rosen on multiple occasions.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, scouts for the Raiders were sent home Friday and are not expected to return ahead of next week's draft.
Well this is a new one. Apparently new GM Mike Mayock, who was handpicked by Jon Gruden after forcing out Reggie McKenzie last year, isn't sure "who he can trust with his draft secrets." Yikes. This is either a monumental case of paranoia or the Raiders scouting department simply couldn't get on the same page. Purging the team's entire scouting presence six days before the draft is a bold strategy and clearly a power struggle is being waged deep inside the Oakland Coliseum. That's been the case since Gruden arrived from the broadcast booth last year. With three picks in the first round (Nos. 4, 24 and 27), the Raiders absolutely have to get this right.

It's pretty common practice when a new GM comes in to change scouts after the draft. So there's no bold strategy there. The scouting has all been done. The only bizarre portion of this is not allowing them to observe the decision making process. I guess Raiders are pretty serious about no leaks for next 5 days.

Shouldn't we be hearing "so and so failed a drug test at the combine" and "such and such has off the field issues" rumors?
