Who knows if it has merit, but I've seen a few former players harp on twitter that Eli will be starting in 2019 and QB isn't some huge priority for the giants.

Even if they think he'll start next year, if they know they are a year or two away and if Haskins is as good as this board thinks he is, they'd be dumb to pass him up.

Manning still had a pretty productive year. With Barkley now apart of their offense they also may be able to extend his arm a little bit more. Haskins is good. But a year or two from now you will see much, much better prospects to choose from. That's why I am now not sweating this draft class so much. Would I like to see a new QB and some fresh blood on the offense? Sure.

But knowing our history? Our luck? We'll land another Leftwich the year before we could have landed a Roethilsberger or Rivers. Or, we'll land another Gabbert or Bortles instead of a Luck or Goff, Wentz, Mahomes or Watson.

Jake Fromm and Trevor Lawrence alone would be better options. Hell, with Justin Herbert returning to Oregon for his senior season he could very easily improve his accuracy and maybe win a few big games and he would be considered a better prospect than Haskins. 

Another guy to watch for is Jacob Eason. He'll have one year in Washington to showcase his abilities that we saw back in 2016 while he was still a Bulldog. That kid has one hell of an arm. He could push to be a top prospect at the QB position in 2020's draft.

Herbert was already being dubbed the top QB prospect months ago before he decided to go back to school. So it's not like the Giants wouldn't have their pick of the litter in a few years from now. I think Haskins would be a good fit for us in Jacksonville. I just don't know how high his ceiling will be in the NFL. Those other guys I listed above could be better off. Plus you'll see other prospects coming in. 

We'll see.
