NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah lists Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins 15th on his updated draft board.
That's the highest any quarterback comes in on Jeremiah's top 50 prospects. Missouri's Drew Lock comes in 23rd with Duke's Daniel Jones right behind at 24, and Oklahoma's Kyler Murray comes in 29th. This has pretty much been the consensus order of the top prospects at the position, although some have had the signal-callers a little higher. After throwing for 50 touchdowns and leading Ohio State to a 12-1 record, we can see Haskins going in the top 10, and it's important to note that a board is not the same as a mock.

While speaking on the 'Valentine's Views' podcast, Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline said that "no other quarterback" approaches Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins in this draft class.
Pauline believed that Duke QB Daniel Jones could have potentially turbocharged his stock while at the Reese's Senior Bowl, but Jones ultimately turned in a solid-but-unspectacular showing for the week as a whole (even as he ended up winning MVP honors for the game itself). As for QB1 in this class, the two names batted around most often are Haskins and Kyler Murray. In January, one scout told Bleacher Report's Matt Miller that he would not be surprised if a team traded up into the top-four picks to take Haskins.

Even Cooper?!Definitely think he can be a "sit for a year" QB under Eli Manning. He's got the arm for MetLife in Winter, he's got the size and athleticism and he's got decent awareness. Getting tutored by any of the Mannings would be great.
... do they even let him on the field during Archie's QB camps? I kinda think they let him be a towelboy or something.Even Cooper?!
Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins ran the 40-yard dash in 5.04 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Haskins is now a Day 3 prospect with this performance. Just kidding. This couldn't mean less for Haskins, and he even said that his cramps slowed him down anyways. However, this does put Stephen A. Smith on the hot seat after he claimed that Haskins was more of a runner than passer despite throwing for 50 touchdowns in 2018. With Kyler Murray's stock trending way up, Haskins is now facing legit pressure for the top quarterback spot. Both quarterbacks could end up coming off the board inside the top-five picks.

NFL Draft Scout's Ric Serritella believes Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins will be the top quarterback prospect on many teams draft boards.
Serritella watched Haskins (6'3/231) throw in-person at the NFL Scouting Combine and came away impressed saying he's "A strong-armed pocket passer who makes quick, accurate decisions with the football and shows great anticipation." He later added Haskins is "Able to get rid of the ball extremely quick, plus has the arm strength to make all the throws and shows great poise in the pocket." At this point it looks like both Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray have a good chance of being selected inside the top-10 pick in the NFL Draft.

NFL Network's Chad Reuter projects Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins to be selected by the Giants at pick No. 3 in his latest mock draft.
This obviously requires a trade-up as the Giants currently hold the No. 6 overall pick. Reuters is reading the tea leaves with Giants GM Dave Gettleman's comments that "he's interested in following the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes model for developing a young quarterback behind a veteran." The Raiders have also shown interest in drafting a quarterback and sit at pick No. 4, so leapfrogging them is probably necessary to select Haskins. A month ago this quarterback class looked underwhelming with many citing 1-2 1st round talents. Now, two or more quarterbacks will likely be selected inside the top-10.

A former member of the New York Giants front office who spoke with Bleacher Report's Matt Miller said that Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins "wowed" the team in meetings.
While we are talking about a former front office member, here, Miller passes along that his source remains close with others in the building. It comes as no surprise that Haskins -- well-known to be one of the more cerebral quarterbacks in this class -- impressed in interviews. While the OSU signal-caller will certainly be in play at No. 6, it's difficult to ascertain exactly what direction the Giants are trying for in the wake of their stunning trade of OBJ to the Browns. They had a prime opportunity to start their rebuild a year ago, in a better quarterbacks class, with a higher pick.

ESPN's Dianna Russini reports that the New York Giants "are not doing a lot of work on" Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins.
The Giants' ownership just can't move on from Eli Manning and they have hired Manning truthers to run their player personnel department, so this isn't overly surprising. Instead of drafting Sam Darnold in 2017, the Giants picked generational player Saquon Barkley to try to save Manning, leading to a 5-11 season. The Giants appear to be setting themselves up for another "win now" selection with the No. 6 overall pick instead of selecting potential franchise quarterback Dwayne Haskins. The Giants are likely looking at the edge rushers at No. 6 if they aren't working on Haskins' evaluation. Russini believes the Giants are going to draft a quarterback with the newly acquired No. 17 overall pick. Perhaps that's Duke QB Daniel Jones, who had a lower YPA in college than Eli Manning has had in the NFL since Jones' first collegiate start.

ESPN's Dianna Russini reports the Giants feel Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins "doesn't fit" with the team.
Russini adds the Giants are barely scouting him. ESPN's Jordan Raanan speculates the Giants aren't interested because the team doesn't see enough "elusiveness in the pocket" from the 21-year-old play-caller, creating a sense of doubt the front office can't seem to overlook. It's asinine, but the powers that be are clearly interested in sticking with 38-year-old Mike Francesa-favorite Eli Manning under center this upcoming season and instead using the No. 6 overall pick on a "safe" option on the opposite side of the ball. GM Dave Gettleman ostensibly telegraphed his infatuation with Saquon Barkley well before the draft last year, getting gushy and stating he was "touched by the hand of God" after selecting the former Nittany Lion No. 2 overall. A similar picture is unfortunately being painted for the once-proud franchise this year.
No 2nd rounders?Would love to get him in Dynasty but he won't be there when my picks come.
Matt Miller and Connor Rogers of the Stick To Football Podcast report that the New York Giants have been studying Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins all year.
They also say that the organization is a big fan of Haskins, despite some smokescreens that suggest to the contrary. Eli Manning is back for 2019 after the Giants paid him a $5 million bonus this week, but he's clearly not the long-term answer. Rogers and Miller report that the Giants may need to trade up in order to get Haskins, as it's certainly possible that quarterback doesn't make it to that No. 6 pick. Very interesting stuff, to say the least.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Redskins are "very much intrigued" by Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins.
The Jets at No. 3 overall are reportedly open for business and would be more than willing to trade out of that spot after landing Sam Darnold last year. The Redskins are said to be one of the prime candidates to come up should Kyler Murray and Nick Bosa go Nos. 1 and 2 in the draft. Washington's quarterback situation is bleak with Case Keenum and Colt McCoy on year-by-year deals and Alex Smith (leg) unlikely to play again. The Skins would seemingly have to leap the Raiders and Giants at Nos. 4 and 6 overall for a chance at Haskins.

An anonymous NFL GM said Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins "can clearly make all the throws" at Ohio State's Pro Day.
Haskins (6'3/220) had a strong Pro Day by most accounts and met with the Broncos, Raiders, Dolphins, and Redskins afterward. He also met with the Giants Tuesday night, a team who holds the No. 6 overall pick and has shown interest in potentially selecting a quarterback. Recent reports are that the Giants aren't interested in Haskins, but that could just be a smokescreen. Haskins will likely be a top-10 selection but it's difficult to predict exactly how high he'll be selected as there are many potential suitors at the moment.

Doubtful he's available at #6.The Frankman said:When I saw the Giants contingent they're seriously doing legit research on the man, contrary to the "Giants haven't paid attention to Haskins" smoke released recently. With the questionable moves Gettleman has made recently there's no real guarantee they'll be bad enough to tank for Tua; have to take Haskins at #6 if you're the Giants.
If Tampa doesn't have a shot at Bosa, Allen, or Williams the 5th pick goes to the highest bidder. A team may need to even go up to #2.Yeah, at this point I'm pretty sure any mock that doesn't have Murray & Haskins both in the top 6 is wrong.
I agree. Funny to see this type of mock getting posted the day after his Pro Day:Yeah, at this point I'm pretty sure any mock that doesn't have Murray & Haskins both in the top 6 is wrong.
NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein projects the Miami Dolphins to select Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins with the 13th pick in his latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
We wonder if this mock was set before Haskins had his Pro Day, if only because he received such positive reports from that afternoon. That being said, there's no obvious fit for Haskins if the Giants do pass on him with the sixth pick. "We already know the king of the bridge quarterbacks is in place and waiting to start for the Dolphins (Ryan Fitzpatrick)," writes Zierlein, "but he would also be an excellent choice to help mentor the future at the position." We can't imagine the Dolphins would pass on Haskins if he's still on the board.

fixed. dont put it past the Raiders to take Haskins. Even TB. Teams 4, 5, 6 ,7, 10, 11 all could use a young/future qb...Mock drafters don't seem too keen on predicting trades, but they happen every year. Those teams in the teens know they need to get in front of the Raiders to select Haskins.
