Solid pro day showing for OSU QB Haskins … Whether Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins added to his overall final draft grade with his performance at today’s pro day at the school is open to debate, but its hard to see where he would have lost any ground. Haskins completed 58 of 64 passes during a scripted throwing session which included a couple of drops. Along the way, Haskins showed the arm strength to make all the throws at the next level; he also demonstrated an easy, compact release, good route anticipation and nice touch. Haskins also included some movement skills in his workout regime in which he looked very light on his feet, although its always tough to judge when players are moving against air. And while almost anything could happen between now and draft day, the team showing Haskins to most love these days remain the Giants. Indeed, after taking Haskins to dinner last night prior to the pro day, Giants’ head coach Pat Shurmur was the first to talk with him at the end of the workout. Later Shurmur described the workout as as ‘excellent’, while praising Haskins as an ‘accomplished and impressive young man’. ’’ In fact, despite reports in the past week that the Giants were not all that interested in Haskins, they had a 10-man party in Columbus today which also included Senior Vice President of player personnel Chris Mara, Kevin Abrams, vice president of football operations and assistant general manager; and Chris Pettit, director of college scouting. However, the Giants aren’t the only team with at least some interest in Haskins as he set up at least 4 other private visits including those with Oakland, Miami, Denver and Washington, each of whom has a top 15 pick this coming April.
