32. Dwayne Haskins, Washington Redskins

Losing Alex Smith to a career-threatening injury sent the Washington Redskins into a nosedive last season. With him, the team was 6-4 and held a playoff position. Without him, the team had to rely on Mark Sanchez, Josh Johnson and Colt McCoy, which led to a 1-5 finish.

In response, Daniel Snyder picked up Case Keenum and drafted Dwayne Haskins with the 15th-overall pick. Even with Keenum on board, Haskins is the player to be ranked as reports indicate he has already been a standout during OTAs.

Haskins is ranked last in the rankings because he hasn’t played a down in an NFL game yet. Although, the future is bright in the nation’s capital with him in the fold.

The former Ohio State Buckeyes gunslinger had an incredible 2018 season as a sophomore. He earned 2018 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors after throwing 50 touchdowns for 4,831 yards.

At 6’3″, 231 pounds, Haskins has the frame to be a sturdy NFL quarterback. He isn’t the fleetest of foot, but he can move when he needs to and has a big-time arm.

Washington got their future quarterback, and Haskins will jump up the rankings once he proves he can make the plays at the highest level.
