Overview
Despite just a single season as a starter at Kentucky, Haskins is an interesting study as a prospect whose playing style doesn't necessarily match his traits. His 83 3/8-inch wingspan (34 3/8-inch arms) will get teams excited and he has good overall size to go with it. However, his playing style leans more to his snap quickness than his length, as he's much more consistent at searching for gaps than controlling the action with his hands. He's nimble and very active in both the run game and as a rusher, and his spin-counter is a legitimate weapon in attacking the pocket. If he can get his hands and feet to work in skilled harmony, he might have life as a rotational 3-technique in a one-gapping front.
Strengths
  • Good size and length.
  • Wingspan is almost seven feet long.
  • Gets it going very quickly after the snap.
  • Active and plays hard through the whistle.
  • Ability to dart into gaps and create disruption.
  • Nimble on his feet.
  • Creates problems inside the pocket with his spin counter.
  • Feet always moving forward and looking for a rush edge.
Weaknesses
  • Disappointing bench press total of 20 at his pro day.
  • Plays fast, but can be a little out of control.
  • Struggles with his technique.
  • Inconsistent hand usage in taking on blocks.
  • Can be knocked to the ground by power.
  • Pass rush wears down as game progresses.
  • Needs to create a plan for early stages of the rush.

I am happy with this.  As I look back over my mock, It is uncanny how I missed on every pick.  But that was intentional.

Next year you'll know to go off the Rhule Against Slowness scale for the first 5 rounds - then just throw poo at a wall for the rest of your picks.

They said their board had 150 names--which does not explain trading back and taking 4 sixth and seventh round picks.  Maybe a dart hit a good player.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
