After extensive tape study, I cannot plant my flag on the Dwayne Haskins mountain.

He does some things well as a young passer, but the concerns are too significant for me to be excited about him as a franchise signal caller

2019 NFL DRAFT PLAYER PROFILE: DWAYNE HASKINS

Have to best honest w/ Giants fans here who are chomping at the bit for a new QB: I have concerns too w/ Haskins. Rewatching the PSU and Purdue games were troubling. His slow feet are probably my biggest concern. Risky. Jon does a great job diving a bit deeper. Check it out:

You're not crazy. He's not a slam-dunk QB prospect. This is what happens to a fanbase of a team in QB hell. They have to push sometimes and convince themsleves of things that may or may not be there. The more I watch this class, the only who genuinely excites me is Kyler Murray

Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL)
1/30/19, 2:29 PM
From a clean pocket, I like what I've seen from an accuracy standpoint. Unfortunately, not every pocket will be clean for him -- especially not on the Giants -- the footwork under pressure and then when asked to escape and create is what scares me. Will have to project w/ him


Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL)
1/30/19, 2:30 PM
Agreed but I do think that having slow feet, esp under pressure, is one of those things that is harder to improve on. That was one of those traits Giants fans told me Davis Webb would easily improve when they told me why the team shouldn't draft Darnold/Rosen last year


Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL)
1/30/19, 3:01 PM
All year Giants fans talked about moving on from the Eli type of QB who struggles with escaping the pocket, creating off script taking sacks etc. Dwayne Haskins won't exactly eliminate these things fans complained about most. His intermediate accuracy could make up for it though

In terms of improving as season progressed:

Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL)
1/30/19, 3:08 PM
He does, but he also isn't faced with any kind of crazy difficult situation at any point. I didn't feel like he was under duress as much as I would have hoped to see/expected vs. UM or UW. Both games, when he was, his ability to make a play off script wasn't what I hoped to seE

Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL)
1/30/19, 3:03 PM
Just on the scheme. I think the best fit for Shurmur's scheme is a player who fits more of the Kyler Murray type skill set wit hthe ability to throw off PA boot and the ability to stretch the seam vertically on vertical routes from the slot. Quick release and short accuracy too

Bucky Brooks has these players going 1-5 last week

Bosa - Edge
School: Ohio State | Year: Junior
The No. 1 overall pick is reserved for elite players with dynamic skills. Bosa fits the bill as a disruptive pass rusher with exceptional hands and technical skills.

PICK
2
Josh Allen - Edge
School: Kentucky | Year: Senior
Allen would give the 49ers an explosive edge rusher with outstanding first-step quickness and burst.

PICK
3
Quinnen Williams - DT
School: Alabama | Year: Sophomore (RS)
Taking the "BPA" (best player available) has worked out for the Jets under general manager Mike Maccagnan. Williams is a dominant force who would fit nicely beside Leonard Williams on the inside.

PICK
4
Rashan Gary - Edge
School: Michigan | Year: Junior
The Raiders desperately need a blue-chip defender on the front line to harass the prolific passers in the AFC West. Gary is a better athlete than playmaker at this point, but his arrival should boost a pass rush that netted a league-low 13 sacks in 2018.

PICK
5
Devin White - LB
School: LSU | Year: Junior
White's speed, athleticism and playmaking ability would add a dimension to a Bucs defense that struggled to defend the run and pass over the middle.


If that happens, who do you take?
3 guys I like are  
robbieballs2003 : 1/30/2019 3:58 pm : link
Wilkins, Burns, Sweat. No idea if the value is good there but I'd be happy to havd them. Plus, if that did happen you know teams would be calling us about the pick for the QBs or possibly another player. So, let th3 bidding begin. Either we love one of the QBs or defensive players or possible OL or we trade back.
At that point  
gmen9892 : 1/30/2019 4:01 pm : link
It either has to be Haskins or a trade back IMO. Too many good defensive Front 7 guys available if you drop back to the 7-13 range.
I take the road less travelled  
Red Dog : 1/30/2019 4:02 pm : link
Trade down to get another first round pick, or at the very least another second rounder and something else, for the 2020 draft.

Then take the best DE, LB, FS, or OT remaining on the board this year.

This year's draft should help position the team to trade up in 2020 to get the QB.

Same for me, except that there would be a limit to how far down I would drop (maybe to 15 or so).

While we have needs at QB and Edge, I don't like any of the QBs this year and I wouldn't take 4th best Edge rusher at #6. I would think Greedy or even Jonas Williams would be rated higher than the 4th best Edge rusher.

Listen for offers to trade down, but if no value is offered than take either of the Williams mentioned.

And in furtherance of that, Penn State was his fifth start and Purdue his eighth. I know he only had 14 career starts, but this is a guy who improved markedly from the beginning of the season to the end, and I think it is reasonable to expect him to struggle in a road game against Penn State in his 5th career start. Incidentally, for as bad as people suggest he was in that game, he threw for 270 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, and led ODU to a road victory over a tough opponent. Not exactly a horrific performance.

Against Purdue - only his eighth start - he had a bad pick six which people remember. He also threw for 470 in that game with multiple TDs and one INT. Yes, I know some of that cane in garbage time.

Look, even in his bad games, Haskins protected the football. And while he is inexperienced and has things to learn, he showed remarkable improvement from the beginning of the season to the end. That’s the growth you want to see from a young QB, and it suggests he is not nearly done growing as a player. By the end of the season he was scanning the field, manipulating defenders, etc. His best games came at the end of the year against great Ds. If Purdue and PSU got pressure, why couldn’t Michigan? Simple - because Haskins read the blitzes and adjusted his blocking. What more could you want from a young QB.

Stop telling me wait til next year. We don’t know a thing about the class yet or where we will be picking.

Good post and points - I agree.

People forget that Haskins was a first year starter. These guys are talking about him like he's a finished product who isn't still learning and growing as a QB. God forbid any prospect has shown any sort of flaw... the horror.

The most important thing to focus on is his progression as the year went on. You want to see a player who is learning and addressing flaws in his game. No doubt that Haskins got better later in the year. He was handling pressure better, he was handling progressions better. He made strides and had a fantastic season overall.

He's got work to do. Almost every QB does at the stage he's at. I still really like him and think he'd be a great get for NYG.
Take The Best Player  
Rong5611 : 1/30/2019 4:51 pm : link
Doesn't seem like Haskins is the best player, but its early in the process.

If not a QB, take the best defensive player available, assuming the RT and RG positions are handled via FA.

This^^^. It's as if these guys must be flawless.

I listened to the BB Kickoff this morning from yesterday's show. And one of the guys goes on and on about how Lock did ok in Mobile, but it's more about his tape during the season which suggests he's not 1st round worthy. He then goes on to dog the edge rushers for not having a great week at Mobile and no mention of how they actually played during the season.

As much as I love he lead up to the draft, it is so hard to listen to many "analysts" during the process.

Even worse,he was a one year QB, surrounded by elite talent, who faced zero adversity in his college career. Buyer beware.

We know just as much about the 2020 class as we do Haskins. That's the risky part. There is so little game tape to go on. By 2020, you will have about 3 years of game tape to look at for Tua, Fromm and Herbert. You have a bigger sample size to choose from.

The "where we will be picking" part is risky, but if Eli is as bad as everyone thinks he is, we wont have to worry about picking too far back. Gettleman and Co. would have to knock this offseason out of the park (especially defensively) for this team to be picking in the back half of the 1st round.

You will also have 3-4 less teams looking for a QB next year if Lock, Haskins, Jones and Murray are drafted. The Giants would only be contending with a handful of teams that are both worse than them and looking for a QB.
Kylar Murray for me.

The problem with that is you are assuming that guys like Barkley and ODB don’t drag us to 7-8 wins. Miami had Tannehill and Osweiler and navigated their way to 7 wins this season, putting them at 13. If we pick 13th next year, we will not be finding a way to navigate into the top 5, especially of those guys are as good as you think they are.

And that’s the issue. We stink, but fortuitous bounces could lead to us tumbling down the draft board.

Besides, with the way this board nitpicks QBs, they’ll hate all those guys by next draft anyway. Before the 2017 season, Darnold and Rosen were seen as near locks for 1-2, and Allen was not far behind. Fast forward to the end, and everyone was criticizing them. Next year, it will be the same thing. Tua faced no adversity (see Haskins) and when he did he struggled (see Clemson game). Hebert could regress a bit causing people to fly off his bandwagon. Fromm could struggle too, as he did in the LSU and Texas games. Then what? Wait til 2021. And if we don’t get the chance to pick Lawrence in 2021? Wait til 2022? When does it end?

You guys are nitpicking the heck out of Haskins. He was dominant. Utterly dominant. But that’s not good enough because he didn’t face a ton of adversity? Is that a joke? The guy was awesome, but it doesn’t matter because he wasn’t getting smashed repeatedly. Dan Orlovsky pointed out some great throws he made while getting hit. Those good enough for you? Apparently not.

I have a friend who coached at the college level, returned to teaching and has former HS players playing in the big ten. Every year he has pics with Harbaugh and Urban M when they visit to recruit. He has spoken to many of the big ten OCs and DCs and he said Haskins looks slow. He has been told he is not a Franchise QB. He has a good arm, build etc. They think he will be a decent pro not great! He is not any more mobile than Eli was coming out of college. We Need a replacement SOON! But we don't want to force it and I do not think DG will think Haskins is the 6th best player in the draft. My guess is we will pick a front 7 guy! I am not an ASSHAT, just a former HS Assistant who knows a few coaches.

ryanmkeane : 1/30/2019 5:55 pm : link
every year why we shouldn’t draft a QB. Hell why don’t we just wait until 2030 when there’s a 6-6 245 pound QB who can run a 4.4? This notion that we are going to get a perfect prospect is ridiculous. Take a guy based on his projection and leadership qualities at the next level. Haskins has the arm, the work ethic, the background. Now we aren’t going to draft him because of a few games where he was poor under pressure? Cool.

This is not a QB class where a guy jumps out as "you have to take this guy at the top of round 1". That was last year's class, and possibly next year's class.

You can already see this narrative being created in preparation for the Giants taking Haskins.

The Raiders desperately need a blue-chip defender on the front line to harass the prolific passers in the AFC West. Gary is a better athlete than playmaker at this point, but his arrival should boost a pass rush that netted a league-low 13 sacks in 2018.

PICK
5
Devin White - LB
School: LSU | Year: Junior
White's speed, athleticism and playmaking ability would add a dimension to a Bucs defense that struggled to defend the run and pass over the middle.


If that happens, who do you take?


In this scenario maybe you take Sweat from Mississippi State.
The draft advisory board gave out 3 1st round grades to QBs.

Haskins, Murray, and even Jones I thought surprisingly. Probably give Lock a 1st too if they gave grades to seniors. They do not really fuck around and give grades out to guys just because they are QBs. This isn't a situation were you have Bortles going 3rd overall after he received a second round grade. This is a solid QB class without a number 1 pick type QB ala Tua and Lawrence. That is why the media narrative is that this QB class sucks.

Besides, with the way this board nitpicks QBs, they’ll hate all those guys by next draft anyway.


Bingo.

Think about it. You are more likely to get a piece written by EliteMobster than somebody who actually knows what the fuck they are talking about.


Yup, 247 Sports is trash. My only response to the thread (besides this one) was in regards to the scenario quoted by DefenderDawg.
LOL..

He didn't like it when his shit takes were being challenged.
I’d probably take either  
Reb8thVA : 1/30/2019 6:20 pm : link
Sweat or Oliver. However, if I took Oliver, I’d probably look for a ER in the second

Is a glorified high school newspaper. I really can't believe how frequently this Dan gets cited on BBI...
The Giants will need to fall in love with a QB

The odds are good one of these 3 will be picked
Haskins was bad against Penn State

Until the game was on the line, then he was pretty darn good
RE: It'll never happen, but I'd take Kyler Murray.

I think he's going to be fine in the NFL and no more or less prone to injury than any other QB.


I’d like to see how he does in the combine but I think I’m with you there. Murray is too talented and productive to ignore.
Murray has a really slight frame  
ryanmkeane : 1/30/2019 7:54 pm : link
if you think his injury risk is the same as Haskins you’re kidding yourself
White would be my pick

I don't buy that Murray won't be any more likely to get hurt than any other QB. He's going to have to use his legs and athleticism to retain the same effectiveness we saw @ OU in the pros. He's tiny. He'll be the smallest QB to play in the NFL since....

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he measures a tick under 5'9" and 185-190 lbs.

That's very small for a QB and fairly risky.

If the size wasn't a concern, Murray would be the consensus top QB (and maybe even top player) in the class.

I love the skillset - just really don't like the size and don't trust that he'll be able to stay on the football field long-term.

There isnt any evidence to support the idea that a small QB cant play as well or as long as anyone else. Theres an obvious archetype bias when it comes to size in the NFL but players buck the trend at multiple positions all the time. And I’ve yet to see many (if any) players that are more prone to injury than others “just because they’re smaller”.

We won’t know until he steps on the field of course, but as far as I’m concerned - he’s never had any major injury issues to this point. I dont see that changing in the NFL. If he gets hurt its more likely to have occured regardless of his size rather than simply because he was smaller.
Until the combine

none of these opinions matter..

Haskins has slow feet and you can't really improve that deficiency. The organization has to realize mobility is more important in today's NFL.

Have you ever seen him play? Serious question because his mobility isn't an issue at all. He actually has plus athletic ability for the position. Sometimes I wonder where people get this stuff.
