In my opinion Tua is overrated and strictly a product of coaching and outstanding personnel around him. Fromm will end up being more successful if/when either get drafted. Everyone knew Baker was going to be a baller if he could stow the attitude. From a talent standpoint, safe pick there. Darnold, I was never high on but showed room for growth because he played disciplined, albeit safe. I liked what I saw from him this year.

Haskins, I don't see the disciplined pocket passer. I don't see that gamer that can come from behind. I don't see a guy that can take hits and still stand tall. I don't see the "it" factor. It doesn't mean he can't fufill all of those and more but in my opinion there is too much risk chasing those unknowns. I think a lot of teams would feel better seeing him another year or two in college but reality is, he and his agent were smart to jump and enter a weak draft. Some team will bet the farm and I hope it isn't the Jags.

Call it what you will but what more can you use to analyze? His body of work is too minescule to garner any type of specifics other than those provided. That is the point in all of this. How can you be so sure as to bet your future on a guy that is this raw and unknown?

I don't have a problem with being cautious about his lack of experience.  

Ignoring all of his high end traits because he didn't play more doesn't make much sense. Nor does it makes sense to ding him for being the best of a meh bunch, he'd hold up in every class. 

Watson was called a one read QB on here because people weren't able to understand that every scheme has multiple keys and reads, some just happen presnap , some happen post snap, and some include both. They missed his ability to quickly process through reads when he needed to and when it was required of him. Same is true of Haskins, despite how easy Ohio state makes it look.
