Re: Dwayne Haskins
Look, if he was a lock, he wouldn't have been there at 15. Going in, all the hype was "Danny is going to trade the farm to get into the top 5". That didn't happen. We got a talent with serious potential without trading picks. Will he be the savior? Who the fuck knows? But not giving him a shot when he was sitting there at 15 would have been a serious mistake, IMO. It's cost/benefit: worth the shot, given what we need. Plus, they got Sweat, so how ever fucked up the front office is supposed to be (and this makes great click-bait at draft time), they did what you'd pretty much want them to do: fill the holes as best they can in the draft. Not the sexy narrative of "Crazy Danny is Back!", but decent FO moves.
Time, as always, will tell. There are no gimmes.
