Dolphins GM: Rosen trade doesn't mean we won't draft QB in 2020

The acquisition of former top-10 pick Josh Rosen won't necessarily deter the Miami Dolphins from taking a quarterback early in the 2020 draft.

"Every team in the league is looking for that guy that's going to lead them to championships," general manager Chris Grier told The MMQB's Albert Breer. "And so for us, we're in a position where we're trying to find that guy, like a lot of teams in the league. So yeah, (Rosen) was an easy decision. And it doesn't stop us from doing anything in the future. Who knows? If things go well and we feel he's the guy, who knows? But it doesn't stop us from doing anything."

Rosen was shipped to South Beach from the Cardinals on Friday for a second-round pick and a 2020 fifth-rounder. He spent just one season in the desert before Arizona ditched its plan to build around him long term.

The Dolphins have been open about their rebuilding intentions. They are expected to be in contention for the first overall pick next year when the quarterback class will almost certainly be headed by Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa and Oregon's Justin Herbert.

Rosen threw for 2,278 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions during his rookie campaign. Arizona drafted the 22-year-old 10th overall in 2018.
