I'm not much of a college football guru, but in the light following I've been doing w/r/t the draft and the noise about the Giants drafting Haskins at 6, I had some questions maybe some more enlightened on this site could answer.
Is it correct that Haskins has only played 1 or 2 full seasons at OSU? Yes he had a tremendous campaign last year, but I'd be more curious to see him over a couple years - with more tape on him and defenses better able to game plan for him, I'd be very curious to see another campaign.
He came out of Bullis. I went to Bullis. It's a small school, playing relatively smaller other schools (Gtown Prep, Landon, etc). I'm impressed at what he did there, but maybe not as impressed as someone who would have come out of a larger public high school playing known area powerhouses.
This trend of guys coming out of college after limited(ish) experience is growing. By all accounts, he is a great guy who has played well in 2018 and has great attributes and interviews. But has he really had the chance to gain the experience necessary to mature mentally and overcome adversity on the field?
I think he has the potential to be an outstanding NFL player; but is he ready to be a #6 pick overall?
Thoughts?
Of course, where GT goes, soon bw will appear.
I thought this thread was about concerns around Haskins.
Haskins is very likely and we would be lucky to have him. He is legit. To me Murray and Haskins are the only top QBs in this draft.

Based on the chatter we've heard from jtgiants, JonC, and others, I don't see us taking a QB at 6. And if we do, I think Jones is more likely - and to be clear I don't want them to pick Jones either.
It just doesn't make sense if we're committed to Eli this year.

That makes zero sense. DG said he wants to do the KC route of bringing in a QB and having him sit. The fact we aren't extending Eli should show we are going QB early in this draft and I would bet if Haskins is there we take him. I wouldn't be shocked with a trade up.
In fact I will say there is no way we can come out of this draft without a future QB. Next year who is our QB? If they wanted Eli he would be signed longer. That is the Giants way.

get some examples of this?

If you want a narrative, implying that conditioning isn't critical for an NFL quarterback is a doozy of a narrative.
Are there really concerns every year about QB prospects as to if they are well-conditioned?
This almost seems to be a fabricated negative. Maybe even strike the almost part
It usually doesn't come up because first round considerations at QB are rarely as chubby as Haskins. Actually, quarterback draft prospects in any round are rarely as chubby as he is.
So it begs the question, why did he enter the draft process chubby?
Here's another QB that people considered chubby at the combine:
