Dwayne Haskins was one of the best college football QB's of the last 10 years. He had one of the best season's of any college QB of the last 10 years. Sometimes college success does not translate to the NFL. Whether or not that is the case with Haskins remains to be seen. That team is a complete mess. Terrible O-Line, one decent receiver and no running game. I don't know how any QB could succeed there in the current state of the team.

You said part of the reason Fields is overrated was because he couldn't beat out Burrow. 

And Fields was actually more impressive last year than Haskins season was. Way more suited to the modern NFL game and how the offenses operate

You misunderstood what I wrote. I merely wrote that as a fact. I listed why I feel the kid is overrated either in this thread or another. I can't remember where i wrote it. If you need to hear them again, here they are. In his time with OSU, I don't see the pocket presence you need to be an NFL QB. He relies way too much on his athleticism and takes unnecessary hits when he leaves the pocket too early. He doesn't show the football I.Q. to properly read defenses either. On several occasions, I've noticed that he failed to pickup blitzes and he panics. When he does throw, he passes to wide open receivers and doesn't always show the accuracy to fit his passes in tight windows. I live in Ohio and I see all of the Buckeyes' games on my local channels. I just don't see an elite QB, when I watch Fields play. IMO, Haskins was far superior as a college QB and that hasn't helped him in the NFL, so I have no hope that Fields would fare any better at the next level. The only "elite" QB I see in the next draft is Trevor Lawrence. If he is gone, I might take a gamble on Kyle Trask or Mac Jones in that 2nd or 3rd round range, but I definitely save those first two picks to add "elite" players to our many, many areas of need. I would never reach for a QB, just because we need one. As we know, taking the wrong QB usually sets a franchise back 3-4 years, sometimes much longer.
