Your second paragraph-at least the start of it- illustrates why I listed Haskins second.  The resulting controversy surrounding the pick would be overbearing and tiresome until he proved to be worth the pick.  But the opportunity to develop a franchise QB slowly is justification for Haskins.  To me the main reason it isn't justification is if you don't think Haskins has the tools period. 

I do understand the argument for immediate impact for this team.  This team still has a pretty good defense capable of some really good things.  With a still young veteran QB and a few more pieces around him, we can go far with good health.  If we went with more immediate impact players, I  certainly wouldn't complain if we got the picks right.  But I  also believe a properly developed Haskins could give this team the long term stability at QB and other positions.

FIFY.

Tebow had more yards in that playoff win than any game in Teddys career.  Ouch, that burns
