The NFL's 'off' season: Ranking the seven biggest whiffs this spring

NFL teams and players spend most of the offseason touting improvement. Not every move works out, of course, and sometimes the missed opportunities are obvious to the naked eye.

Here are seven of them, ranked roughly in order of the degree of, well, opportunity missed.

To be fair, there is no guidebook for handling Arizona's draft situation. No team had ever traded away a first-round quarterback after one year. The Cardinals made a defensible decision in drafting Kyler Murray, and that necessitated a move on Rosen.

But at 22, Rosen remains an elite asset who should have drawn more than a late-second-round pick and a fifth-round pick.
