Ohio State Haskins will be Great NFL QB

You see him make some great pro type throws, but then you see guys having to completely stop and wait on the ball or make circus catches.  Some underthrows on posts and flags in the end zone turn easy pitch and catches into contested catches after his receiver makes a tough adjustment.  It really feels to me like the talent around him is elevating him more than he is elevating the talent around him a lot of the time.  I would personally want to see at least one more year out of him given that other OSU QB's came out strong then fell to earth.

I agree that he needs another year in college.  But I could see him going in the top 10 next draft.  Hard to pass up on the money.  But he is not NFL ready in terms of pocket awareness.
