| Dianna Russini of ESPN reports the Giants are not heavily scouting Haskins and have no intent on taking him in Aprils draft barring an unforeseen change. About a week after the Combine, I circled back with some [Giants] people like, What are you thinking Haskins? Do you guys like him? Do you think you are going for it with your No. 6 pick? Russini said on ESPNs Breaking Big Blue podcast. It was, No, actually. We are not doing a lot of work on him. I spoke to a few people. Ill paraphrase one: He doesnt fit with us. The idea that they are not going go after a quarterback with the No. 6 pick solidifies they are not giving up on Eli (Manning). Early indications are that it may be Murray of bust for the Giants at No. 6, leaving them to select from one of the drafts elite defensive prospects, which would be a satisfactory secondary option. I think we should be pretty confident they are going to go defense with that (No. 6) pick, Russini said. I think they are going to draft a quarterback. I just dont think its going to be Haskins. |
In this case I think its a legit report but basically no one saw the Odell trade coming. We had posters quoting DGs we didnt sign him to trade him up until minutes before the trade happened.
Dont want him.
This may not be misdirection, but they used to draft many players they didnt workout. Or at least didnt bring in for a visit. That may have been the previous regimes MO.

Anybody ever thought that they show no interest to signal to other teams, who are thinking of jumping in front of them? Interested or not, you can't show any interest. This information also goes against Oliver's asshat info. Not believing anything, until it happens.
They'll have a contingent there for sure since there are other OSU players they will be scouting in any event.

The won't get Murray at 6.
Of course I want that sexy blonde beast from Clemson, but he's not coming out till 21.
Eli and Jones built a relationship through Cutliffe.
He does kind of remind me of Collins... cant argue there. What we wont know until he plays is how he progresses throughout his career. Collins pretty much hit a ceiling early on, then bottomed out with all the off the field crap, got rescued, reached a ceiling again and never got any better. Time will tell.
I really have no problem with either direction as long as they get a beast. To me its murray, who wont be there or defensive bpa at pick 6. I can live with either. I can also live with Eli if the OL is fixed, and its very close.
Perfect analogy
I'm not suggesting they're necessarily high on him (or not) but not interested in scouting him? I'm calling bullshit.

Same here, if anything this may mean they are more interested in him and this could be a smoke screen to keep teams from jumping ahead of them.
I dont teally want Haskins but the leftwich comp is crap

I've already seen Kerry Collins play QB here. Don't need to run it back.
Perfect analogy
Collins was a decent QB here. If Haskins is as good as Collins I have no issue drafting him. Collins didnt have a RB anything like Barkley (he had young Tiki who coughed up the ball a lot in the Fassel era).
Kerry got us to a super bowl. I would mind running back to that.
