NFL Notes: Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, Draft

Dwayne Haskins

  • NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says he has not heard that Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins is falling in the draft and he still expects Haskins to come off the board before the middle of the first round. 
  • Rapoport mentions it’s worth asking if Haskins is falling, what would be the reason? Haskins has reportedly done well in his meetings with teams and no medical or character red flags have come up to potentially push him down boards. 

Drew Lock

An AFC scouting director tells Albert Breer that Missouri QB Drew Lock has won over teams with his personality.

“It’s his demeanor,” said the scouting director. “He’s unflappable, just has a ton of confidence. Part of the issue with rookie quarterbacks, you’re throwing a lot at them, they start to make mistakes, they get in their own head. … You get sense from Lock, he’ll be unfazed by all that. Like he’ll throw three picks in a game, and come back and think he’s the s— still.
