I watched the last bit of the NW game on BTN last night. I just don't get what these draft "experts" are missing.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Talk of Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins slipping in the NFL draft is just a 'conversation piece,' his father says
Dwayne Haskins' family during the second half of the Big Ten Championship game against Northwestern at Lucas Oil Stadium on Nov. 28, 2018.
The NFL draft won’t start until Thursday. But Dwayne Haskins already has a team.
There’s Dwayne Haskins Sr., the patriarch. He texts an inspirational message or Bible verse to everyone in his orbit several times a week.
This landed Friday: “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.”
There’s Tamara Haskins, the matriarch. When Dwayne was young, she never would have predicted football would become her son’s passion. His loves were Pokemon, Power Rangers and Michael Jackson.
And there’s Tamia, Dwayne’s sister, best friend and a high school senior. The budding actress could illuminate a cave with her smile.
The three are inseparable — and united in their support of Haskins, who had the greatest season in the history of Ohio State quarterbacks and won the 2018 Chicago Tribune Silver Football but might be dropping on NFL draft boards because of so-so footwork.
Haskins has long been projected to go to the Giants at No. 6, but ESPN’s Mel Kiper said Monday that Haskins might fall to the middle of the first round, with the Redskins interested at No. 15.
At the very least, Haskins will end an incomprehensible streak. No Big Ten quarterback has been drafted in the first round since 1995, when Penn State’s Kerry Collins went fifth. Not Russell Wilson (Wisconsin), Kirk Cousins (Michigan State), Drew Brees (Purdue) or Tom Brady (Michigan).
Dwayne Sr. isn’t bothered by the speculation about his son dropping, saying it’s a “conversation piece … I haven’t really looked at TV for the last 12 days. People who support me give me updates, but we will be happy wherever he goes. It’s about the fit, not the number.”
The Haskins family is from New Jersey, home of the Giants. They moved to Potomac, Md., so Dwayne and Tamia could attend the prestigious Bullis School. Dwayne planned to attend Maryland until the university fired coach Randy Edsall. That’s why he switched to Ohio State, allowing Urban Meyer to depart as a Rose Bowl champion.
The draft is in Nashville, Tenn., and three of the top four quarterback prospects — Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray, Duke’s Daniel Jones and Missouri’s Drew Lock — will attend. Haskins will spend the night with family members, loved ones, coaches and “everyone who is part of our village, everyone who helped Dwayne or prayed for us along the way,” Tamia said.
More than 200 are expected at the draft party, which will be held at a bowling alley near the family home in Gaithersburg, Md. Guests are asked to wear their favorite high school, college or NFL jersey. Football chic.
“There will be electricity in the air,” Tamara said. “It’s a celebration of the journey.”
Asked if they believe Dwayne will be nervous, his father replied: “I think he will be calm, cool, collected and poised, like in the fourth quarter of a football game.”
