2. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State (Overall Rank: 14) Height: 6' 33& #8260;8" | Weight: 231 pounds Hes as much of a classic pocket passer as youll find among top QB prospects in this era. Haskins is a power thrower with the willingness to test tight windows, and can get the ball into those tight spots with velocity even after hes moved off his spot. Hes a quiet mover within the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield and moving through progressions with good tempo. Hes also a serviceable athlete who can pick up yards as an occasional scrambler and can be usedthough sparinglyon read-option plays. Theres always concern with one-year starters, as opponents havent had a chance to truly dissect their games and scheme to take away their strengths, but Haskins encouragingly bounced back from a mid-season lull and finished strong. Multiple MMQB staffers were told he has been acing chalk-talk sessions. |

Miller B/R: Matt Miller's Scouting Notebook: Biggest Insider Rumors of the 2019 NFL Draft RUMOR: The Giants want Dwayne Haskins Depending on which information personality you trust, Dwayne Haskins' stock is either staying the same or moving down to where he might be drafted in the 20s. The information I've been hearing is that the Giants actually want Haskins at No. 6 overall and might have finally orchestrated a good smoke screen. Multiple sources in other front offices have remarked that Haskins has "always" been the guy for the Giants. Going back to my own reporting, the Giants have done more work on the Ohio State quarterback than any other team. Smart football people know to be careful about what to trust in the final two weeks before the draft, which is when the purported fall for Haskins began. The rumor that the Giants want Haskins? That's one I believe. |
It's been a long time since I have seen two more overrated QBs projected in the top 15 than these guys.
It's interesting and I'm glad you posted it. I can totally see this being the scenario where they really like him and are smoke-screening. Another really interesting draft that is for sure.
I like Haskins, just not in the top of the first round. Maybe the bottom of the first round...maybe.
But I don't really like any of these QBs as high first round prospects. So my opinions here extend past Haskins.
But back to Haskins. My point all along is he's very difficult to evaluate, and beyond the one year thing, because the offensive infrastructure around him was so good. His predecessor, JD Barrett, put up spectacular numbers, too. And he wasn't a passing QB.
OSU was loaded with very gifted WRs (three will get drafted this year; two will go in the first two rounds), their RB stable was outstanding, they have two future pro TEs, and their OL was very good. So Haskins had an incredible amount of time to throw and his receivers were constantly - and I mean constantly - creating great separation. It was QB Xanadu. And it goosed-up Haskins numbers. Plus, the Big Ten was very down this year outside of Columbus.
So I just can't say he's this special, gifted top QB considering when Haskins played in such a great environment. It's too hard to separate Haskins from that system. Which means making a high pick investment has more risk than most imagine...
How many times do you have to say what?

That the Giants will NOT draft Haskins, at least at 6
Let me guess...
Pick a QB
Pick BPA
Trade it for Rosen
Trade it up or down
I'm inclined to believe you and JonC more than any outsider, although I won't lambaste either of you if you are wrong and we do take a QB a #6. I've said before that I would trade #37 for Rosen, but accept that is extremely unlikely.
The multitude of different scenarios proves that the draft is really a test of a team's ability to not only make correct decisions, but to do so under the pressure of severe time constraints.
Thought so. He just seems so perfect for Betcher's defense.
1. Just punt qb and go Bpa. Defense or tackle most likely
2. Trade back up for qb but only if price is not outrageous which is unlikely
3. Trade back. Very possible. I promise u the Giants one way or another will pick after 37 and before 95.
4. trade pick for player. No not Rosen. I've heard interesting names but don't ask
First, how could it possibly be anything else, he mentioned virtually every scenario (take a QB, take BPA, trade up or down, trade it for Rosen). For the list to not be remotely accurate would be a virtual impossibility.
Second, I refuse to let you throw cold water on my Haskins hope! 👍
1. Just punt qb and go Bpa. Defense or tackle most likely
2. Trade back up for qb but only if price is not outrageous which is unlikely
3. Trade back. Very possible. I promise u the Giants one way or another will pick after 37 and before 95.
4. trade pick for player. No not Rosen. I've heard interesting names but don't ask
Re: #4 - current NFL player?
His last 3 games he threw for 1146 yds & 14 TDs. Those three games were vs Michigan, Northwestern, & Washington. Michigan & Washington were pretty good defences last year, ranked #2 & #12 respectively in total defence
We all agree that the Giants were not making 12 picks in the draft....assuming trade downs for targeted draftees.
I felt like Ogltree last year, picks for established players were also on the agenda. Now, who?
Hey buddy.
I'm telling you I haven't even heard Haskins at all for them in terms of qb. It's all luck and jones
Could that be smoke on their part?
Well see. I have a week to Hope for Haskins. Im not stupid enough to expect him to be a Giant, but I can hope for it. And unless someone kills me, I will continue to hold onto that hope, however slight it may be in reality or in your mind.
No matter which way you look at it, the Giants actually have done an ok job this year with a smokescreen. People are all over the place, so theyve disguised their pick(s) pretty well. Maybe it wasnt a smokescreen that Im hoping for, but its a step in the right direction.
In any event, Ill stand by a comment I made before; if the Giants do not know who is leaking information, or are not doing anything to stop it (like the Raiders did), then they will continue to subject themselves to the same stuff that happened to them before. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. I suppose this just as easily applies to me, if Im ignoring the Giants past at leaking info.
Hmm Im wondering if one of them is Buckner from SF.

Similar to peppers. In terms of youth and upside with a very manageable contract. I've heard three names who could come for the pick along with a pick between 37 and 95 which gentleman really wants. FYI. I'll never say the players Giants are investigating for very obvious reasons
Hmm Im wondering if one of them is Buckner from SF.
Clowney maybe
I'm sticking with Driskel. Young and a great contract.
Toss in Mullens and Brissett for kicks...
If Haskins actually ends up being the pick at six, we went be seeing much of JT anymore!! Jk bud
1. Just punt qb and go Bpa. Defense or tackle most likely
2. Trade back up for qb but only if price is not outrageous which is unlikely
3. Trade back. Very possible. I promise u the Giants one way or another will pick after 37 and before 95.
4. trade pick for player. No not Rosen. I've heard interesting names but don't ask
Agreed. The price to trade up from #17 will likely be exorbitant, unless they are only moving up a few spots. This is especially true because we have a lot of holes. We have 12 picks, but most are on day three.
DG said at his pre-draft press conference that it was going to be very difficult to watch 58 good players come off the board between #37 and #95. He also said he had more players rated in rounds one through four this year than in any other draft in which he's been the GM.
Question: Would the Giants take Haskins at #17? (I assume they would take Lock or Jones but think both will be gone.)
If thats the case its insanely idiotic. It got them jumped for Floyd and Conklin, and they landed Apple. Howd that work out? Last year they picked at 2. This year they dont. If they dont see that as an issue, that should tell you something about our front office. Teams are going through drastic measures to keep their rankings hidden? The Giants: putting them on blast.

The Niners have a glut of talent on the DL, picking in a spot where the best players will be Bosa and Q. That's a good guess, although I would lean more towards Solomon Thomas.

Hopefully not. Solomon Thomas is TERRIBLE.
To each his own. Obviously, youre a great and well-respected poster, so Ill leave it at that. In a week the first round will be over and well be discussing players, not projections.

Im just trying to connect the dots. He fits jtgiants description and we know the Giants wanted him in a potential Odell deal.
Agreed. I think they will all be gone by #17 as well, simply because QBs get overvalued every year. It's a function of a desperate desire to get a franchise QB. This year is no different. It will just be interesting if Haskins is still available at #17.
Team:
New England for one of the top TE@17?
For
1 of their 2 2nd picks?
3 young player : WR Dorsett/Paterson
Didnt we like Obi Melifonwu?
Anyone else?
I am coming to the conclusion that these QBs are not rated high enough to take at #6 but possibly at #17; however, they are not worth enough to trade up at a steep cost. This, in a nut shell, tells me that they are not really in love with this QB class at all.
The info that gets out there is much more about the first round. This year they have two picks in the first, so they should care what people know. If it doesnt matter, theyd do us all a favor and just post their board on social media. I mean, if it makes no difference anyway, who cares, right?
Can you say if they are all on the defensive side of the ball or both sides?
Either way DG has done a masterful job. Now reports coming out on Jones being Giants #1 QB.
This is great!

Then Gettleman has done a masterful job spreading misinformation. With that said I fully believe JonC and jtgiants that Haskins will not be the pick even with a trade up from 17.

Hopefully not. Solomon Thomas is TERRIBLE.
He's been underwhelming for sure although it could be argued he's playing out of position. May be a nice 5 tech in our scheme though.
Slightly underperforming guys a couple years into their rookie contracts would fit the "Peppers mold". I doubt SF would want to part with Buckner, unless there were cap considerations next year when he's due top 10 pick 5th yr option money at DE.
Leonard Floyd was a nice guess too considering the Bears don't have a 1st.
It would need to be all from one team.
I'm counting on you, JT, to be right!
It would need to be all from one team.
I think you definitely are interpreting that wrong. It is a player and a pick between 37 and 90-something. But there are three potentially different trades.
What I also think is very interesting is the comment about wanting a pick between 37 and 90-something. Why? I know I am leaning towards what I want to believe but I think that increases the odds of getting Rosen.

Send 17 to SF for Buckner + 3rd rounder
Giants send 37 to AZ for Rosen ...
This would be incredible. Everyone wins, SF takes Q Williams and lands 17th pick, AZ gets high round 2 pick for backup QB ... Giants fill 2 needs and get an earlier 3rd
One thing to show who you love at #2 than what it is at #6. Remember the Leonard Floyd and Jack Conklin fiasco?

Not true. Other reports contradict this one. Everyone is confused on what the Giants are thinking.
Which means its Haskins.

I appreciate your input, really, I value it. Please don't tell us we can't speculate on things you have told us will not happen. It's at least a little bit offensive. It feels like you are saying. "I already told you that isn't going to happen so you should stop talking about it." Not cool.
Love the insight, but kind of agree
You saying the giants would swap 1st round picks with a team while also adding a player and an extra 2nd or 3rd?
They wouldnt just give up pick 17 for a player and extra 2nd or 3rd, correct?
This is dogma on BBI but is it real? Barkley is incredible but everyone and their brother knew that. I give credit for drafting him at 2 though.
Otherwise we have no idea how good Hernandez, Hill & Carter will be. Plenty of guys have had solid year 1s and flashed like they did at points. Many people thought Jerry Reese was an amazing drafter after year 1 with Steve Smith, Kevin Boss, Aad Bradshaw, Aaron Ross, Jay Alford & Zak DeOssie.
Time will tell on everyone but Barkley.
Much the same can be said about Murray...
It all about the risk with these players. They have red flags in their game, but except for Murrya's size, the other issues are too difficult to judge because there just isn't enough of a body of work to properly evaluate. Is whatever issue we are seeing due to lack of experience and can be coached away, or is it a permanent fixture of their game? Is the success due to the system and the surrounding team, or the player? Not enough information to tell.
JT, like others I value your insider input and try to read everything you write.
But your response above is obnoxious, inappropriate, and frankly screams :"the lady doth protest too much!"
Often, the more fervently one declares something the less likely it is to be heeded. This latest from you makes me doubt the veracity of your info. Why bother again interrupting a countering opinion. If you are confident your info is good and correct, let it rest on the table.
Because he ticks off almost all of the boxes the Giants historically prioritize for the QB position:
High character and poise both at the microphone off the field, in the huddle and in the pocket.
He possesses plus arm talent with a quick and technically sound delivery.
Played a high level of comp so they are comparing apples to apples in the evaluation.
High completion percentage(even for a top program).
Elite 50:8 TD/INT ratio.
Good height and size. Respectable athlete.
Cons:
Only 14 starts(like Trubisky and Murray)
Not fleet of foot(slow Combine 40)
Will they draft him over an elite defender at #6? I don't know. It may depend on exactly how the board falls to them. Either way we'll be adding another very talented component to our roster build.
Well, smack dab in the middle between pick 37 and 95 is the 9ers pick at 67. Also rumor has it they are looking to unload crazily athletic but mostly unproductive DE Solomon Thomas, the #3 overall pick in 2017, and might be looking for pick 17 to have the puck of the litter among this year's WR crop, after whiffing on the OBJ deal. Meanwhile, the take ER Bosa or Allen at 2 to supplant Thomas.
Thomas seems more slated to work at 5 or 3 tech as a bookend to BJ Hill. He's not working out as an ER for SF.
Is Thomas plus 67 in the discussion for 17? I think he has a rep as a ++ citizen, and like Peppers has a potential 3 years left on his rookie deal.
Know nothing about the player(s)?
1. Just punt qb and go Bpa. Defense or tackle most likely
2. Trade back up for qb but only if price is not outrageous which is unlikely
3. Trade back. Very possible. I promise u the Giants one way or another will pick after 37 and before 95.
4. trade pick for player. No not Rosen. I've heard interesting names but don't ask
Regarding your third point, getting a pick between 37 and 95 may be because they think that's an area to get a decent big receiver.
He played out of position first couple years but I cant see any
Way possible giants would consider giving up early pick for him.
A late round pick, sure.
Please dont let the crybabies deter you from posting. Youre insight is greatly appreciated. Im sure you mean to be helpful, and it can get frustrating when you have to repeatedly say the same thing to quell the hysteria at times.
Thank you for the info, seriously.

Everybody knew we were weak at linebacker and oline on 2016. The rumor that we got jumped becausr of a leak is just that....a rumor.
And Apple is a starting cb on one of the top teams in the league.

I don't know what to tell you other than that JTGIants literally said that the Giants know that information leaks and they do not care about it. Look up his posts if you want to.
Armstead not worth 17 by any stretch
Armstead not worth 17 by any stretch
Sorry didnt mean armstead for 17, just as a player Id take in a deal. They have a glut of DL talent, which is nice but sitting at 2 doesnt really align with their need. Im sure theyd love a WR at 17 ... i just know Buckner was heavily discussed in Odell negotiations, so maybe they revisit? He could be extended with the cap next year and beyond.
Buckner would be a dream in Bettchers scheme
I could obviously be way off but fun to think about
