I feel like so little was mentioned about Tyreke Hill last year. Every one was just OMG FAST.

He's one of the worst in the NFL. A lot of athletes put themselves in bad situations where scuffles happen. Pretty sure he straight beat his pregnant girlfriend in their apartment- punched her stomach, strangled, threw her around. These weren't just accusations and charges, he pleaded down which implies something worse happened.

He has a VERY checkered history. Dude's a straight up piece of trash.

Lucky for him, it was before he was in the league. The NFL doesn’t care about what you do before donning the shield. Unless you’re Terrelle Pryor, that is.

Buyer beware from CBS Sports.

Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
Reasons why: Ohio State's 2018 offense. Accuracy issues. Slow feet.

Not only did Haskins start for just one season in Columbus, the Ohio State offense, from every conceivable angle, was immaculately constructed to produce historic quarterback figures. First and foremost, Haskins was rarely pressured, which is the foundation for success, especially for an inexperienced quarterback. Watching his film, the amount of wide open, underneath routes that were thrown is almost unbelievable. Also Haskins routinely threw the ball to the short area of the field to let his receivers run after the catch. Both Kyler Murray and Drew Lock stretched the field much more often. And Haskins played with the fastest receiving corps in college football. Parris Campbell ran 4.31 at the combine. Terry McClaurin ran 4.35. Johnnie Dixon ran 4.41.

None of this is necessarily Haskins' fault. He took full advantage of his situation. He's not guaranteed to have as sturdy of an offensive line or a skill-position group that's significantly more gifted than the defense as what he had at Ohio State. Beyond all that, Haskins' accuracy to the intermediate and downfield portions of the field wasn't of top 10 pick quality in my estimation. Too many misses in those ranges. And, because he's not the most gifted athlete without much time to hone his pocket-drifting skills, when Haskins has to move from his base at the top of his drop, things can be ugly. He's not a master at beating the blitz or dicing a secondary with pressure mounting.

So, I'm placing a Buyer Beware sticker on Haskins because, since he's essentially a lock to go in the top half of the first round, there's a strong likelihood the team that drafts him will want him to start immediately or at some point during his rookie season and won't necessarily have a brick wall offensive line or a stellar receiver group. Because of his arm strength, intellect -- reading through his progressions, a skill that's there but outstanding right now -- Haskins can be a good pro down the road. But I think he's much closer to being a project-y quarterback than a sure-fire, instant-starter, top-10 pick.
