If Haskins is there at 11...

Let’s look at QBs drafted in the first round after just a single season in college.

Cam Newton (1st overall, 2011)
Mitch Trubisky (3rd overall, 2017)
Mark Sanchez (5th overall, 2009)

I think Haskins most closely resembles Mark Sanchez. Good arm, accurate, similar size, reputable college program. Both had stretches in college they looked electric but also some bad stretches. Sanchez had more athleticism than Haskins does. We know Sanchez started off somewhat hot (helped lead team to two AFCC games but wasn’t the main reason they got there), but ultimately he floundered after he lost his run game and elite defense. Turns out the doubters were right in their skepticism from his single year of college.

I think Haskins will follow a similar path to Sanchez. He can have success if there’s a good team around him. I don’t think he’s the kind of QB that will be able to put a team on his back...at least not unless he can develop properly in the next 1-2 years.
