Is UCLA QB Josh Rosen tumbling in NFL Draft? Mel Kiper explains slide out of Giants, Jets picks

Josh Rosen didn't just fall out of the No. 2 pick in Mel Kiper's latest mock draft.

The UCLA quarterback tumbled all the way to No. 11 and was leapfrogged by two other quarterbacks -- USC's Sam Darnold and UCLA's Baker Mayfield -- in the process.

Kiper, ESPN's NFL Draft analyst, had Rosen going to the Giants with the No. 2 pick in his first mock draft. He slid Penn State running back Saquon Barkley into that position in his update.

"For Rosen, the interviews at the Combine are going to be important to show that he can be a galvanizer, that he is a great leader, that he is passionate and loves the game of football, that he will be the first one in (to work) and last one out," Kiper said.
