NFL Draft OSU QB Will Howard (merged) (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

That's old and that report is more fitting to when he started the season. He made a good amount of strides throughout the season and became a better QB, the final product being what we've seen in the playoffs. He's not dominating these defenses but he's absolutely playing well against NFL talent.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see in him go in the early 2nd or late 1st if he has a good combine/senior bowl. But he's not a rookie starter. He should definitely sit for a year.

They’re not old. The first mentions his rose bowl performance and the second is from mid-November.

No one is doubting he has some tools. It’s the notion that he’s one of the top QBs in the draft that’s getting pushback. He’s simply not, for all the reasons mentioned there.

If Milroe falls to the 2nd, take him. Otherwise draft every other BPA and not a QB.

I wouldn't take Milroe as a UDFA. No one should waste a pick on him in any round.

I'm not sure I agree with that. I get why they say it, but last year should've been quite humbling. Everyone was off on Bo Nix by a mile. Even Penix Jr to a fair degree and vastly overrated Caleb Williams.

Not sure I agree on any of those. Plenty of people had both Nix and Penix rated as a mid-late 1st or 2nd.

And Caleb Williams has shown plenty of ability in a dysfunctional organization and coaching staff.

Skattebo will be very lucky to even make a NFL roster out of Training Camp! He’s a good CFB RB but his game won’t translate at all! He’s seriously not even as good as Cody Schrader was for Mizzou last year!… and Schrader is a PS guy now at best!

I like the Skatts story, but let’s be real.

He’s a 4th round flier or later, and likely never plays a meaningful down in the pros

He could be a bust (50% or higher are) or he could be Mike Alstot. Never know!!

As a Buckeye, I love the guy, but still feel the same: he's a late round, developmental pick that probably ends up being a quality backup. He does have the tools to be more than that, so the right system/coach fit could unlock a hidden gem, but he has a ways to go to be an NFL starter.

Agree with this.

He played well. He also didn’t have to do much more than basic college QB stuff during this run.

When asked to go above and beyond in previous games, he left a lot to be desired.

Looked accurate to me during the CFP. Guess we will see what his Combine and Pro Day look like

He missed a wide open receiver for what would have been an easy TD to seal the game long before if got close. He's a good college QB, but he has a long way to go to be an NFL QB.

Superior talent at WR in CFB makes QBing look real easy. In the NFL, you can't underthrow a deep ball and expect the WR to slow up and still make an uncontested catch.

His offense has a lot of motion. His OC was an NFL head coach for a minute, so I think it’s safe to say he’s prepared for the transition
