Would I like for Haskins to have more starting experience? Of course, but this is the hand we are dealt. We need a QB now and he appears to be the most talented QB available. As I said before, even if we are lucky enough to draft him, I would not start him in 2019. With his limited experience, he needs to sit and learn the pro game. I like what the Chiefs did with Pat Mahomes. They sat him a year and it paid off. That is why it is imperative that we fix the O-line, so when we do start a rookie QB, they are in the best position to succeed. I will say this, living in Ohio and watching almost every OSU game this year, I can honestly say this is one of the poorest pass blocking O-Lines the Buckeyes have produced in several years. Haskins seems to sense the pass rush pretty well IMO.

Well I think the rationale is that there are far fewer unknowns with a guy who has 40 starts vs a guy who has 12.  I remember hearing a long time ago, there were 3 criteria you wanted a QB to have before drafting them in the first round.  First was more than 30 starts.  Second was a career comp% over 60%.  And I'm drawing a blank on the third one.  May have been TD/INT.
