First rounder you DON'T want

Fields has little in common with any of the previous OSU QBs.

Haskins is a statue… especially compared to Fields… and was more raw as a passer as well.

Cardale was the 3rd string QB at OSU for a reason. He had a great game at the right time, but was never considered a top QB prospect.

Pryor was athletic and had decent arm strength, but was very raw as a QB. Not even close to Fields’ ability as a passer.

JT Barrett, Troy Smith, and Braxton Miller were shorter and not considered great passing prospects either.

In addition to the fact that the players are not similar… the scheme was not the same under Ryan Day either. Haskins was the only guy to play with Day as HC, and Day has spoken to the fact that he added more pro style concepts with Fields because he could handle it.

I will never understand the “Justin Fields is Dwayne Haskins” mindset.

Ever.

Me neither other than just lazy evaluations…well that’s at least what posters here like to attribute to the sports networks talking head right??

If they take Parsons without a trade back the doubt will start to creep in about this regime and that would be a shame. They’re off to a very good start.

Parson might not make it to us.

Even better.

In a trade down. I don’t like gregory rosseau just something about him makes me think he is gonna be a colossal bust

Kyle Pitts

Agree… pitts should not be the pick at all

The guy makes some amazing catches in college but he basically has too because he’s never open. He reminds me so much of Ebron.
