State of Ohio QB Dwayne Haskins sinks? A writer thinks so

A few remarks before we tackle a story with the NFL's growing plot:

1. It's the season of lies. Believe little. Trust a few people. Embrace your children.

2. It's a "report", and this word could even be a bit loud.

"In fact, I hear all the time that Dwayne Haskins is sinking and could be the fourth smuggler chosen in this project."

That would be quite the NFL development project, if the Ohio State smuggler has to wait that long. Haskins made 50 touchdowns last season and was widely regarded as the No. 2 quarterback of the class behind Kyler Murray. Maybe it's going to slide a lot further than expected.

How is this real?

Now, notice that this is in King's pseudo-project, it's not really a model, but rather a column "What teams should do". Haskins' commentary comes in the middle of drafting choice n ° 6 belonging to the Giants of New York. King suggests that the Giants take a quarter of Missouri Drew Lock at this location.

Not only is it higher than what we regularly see land in watershed simulations, but it's a small indication that Haskins might not be quite sure of the 10 or 12 larger ones certainties.

King thinks Murray should be first overall. And with Lock in sixth, and no other QB – no Haskins or Daniel Jones of Duke – in his first 32 selections, this triggers a really interesting discussion. And a scenario that many might not have planned.

King then added this sentence near the end of this section: "I hear that Dwayne Haskins could collapse, but it could also be a late preparation."

Until where could Dwayne Haskins fall?

"Data-reactid =" 59 "> We have paired Haskins with Cincinnati Bengals in our latest simulation project, and we have another in the next few days. Haskins presents some of the same elements as Jared Goff and the new head coach Bengals, Zac Taylor, would have done a lot of work writing QBs, that makes sense.

Andy Dalton may well be the starter in Cincinnati, but the team has not granted him an extension and his contract is as friendly as you can imagine. The Bengals could continue after this season without problem.

But let's say that the Giants take another quarter to six (or No. 17 in total), and that the Broncos are also going in a different direction … and that the Bengals are not crazy about Haskins. Until where could he really fall?

There are a hundred possible scenarios here, and Josh Rosen who could potentially be traded to the Washington Redskins (or the Giants or another team) would clearly change the landscape. So it's very difficult to say. The professions and the surprising choices always throw an element of chaos into the mix of projects.

But if this slide starts, it may seem logical that one of the teams heading down the first round (Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots, for example) who need to start thinking about a plan to urgency for their older beginners to consider getting started. .

The unmasked model of King does not suggest that Haskins withdraw from the first round. I do not think that's the case. And we must consider this possibility of smokescreen. But it's likely he's heard that from several teams about Haskins' skid, and it's still possible that he's been more of a media creation than a rough draft of the NFL War Room. It's happened before, after all.

We will know in a few weeks. It should be plenty of time to prepare our brains for the idea that Jones is going before Haskins, just in case it should fall.
