Re: Dwayne Haskins
As a Redskins fan since 1968 and a Columbus, Ohio resident since 1974 (and thereby an involuntary observer of all things Buckeyes since then), let me tell you that this is a tremendous pick at No. 15. Haskins has the potential to be one of the dominant QB's of the next 20 years in NFL. His mental skills are off the charts. He truly has a thunderbolt of an arm. But his lack of experience is his Achilles heal (along with the fact that the Skins barely have a single NFL caliber receiver on heir roster).
But Haskins needs to be developed slowly. Don't "throw him into the fire" and kill his incredible ability to read defenses and find the open receiver. Don't make him jumpy. Getting Haskins is a gift. He is without a doubt a potential all-pro QB. He should be worked into his roll along with the team committing to use their first round pick next year on a WR and go get another one in UFA. Give him the weapons and this kid can take the Skins back to the top. I have seen him make so many unbelievable plays at OSU. And he is so smart. Damn this is our chance to start the climb back to respectability if we do not screw him up.
