NFL Combine: 5 Takeaways from Day 2 of workouts

The quarterbacks, wideouts and tight ends took the field at the NFL Combine on Saturday to show the scouts their stuff. What did we learn?

The NFL Combine is underway and many of those big time prospects are getting their time to shine. From super fast 40-yard dash times to insane broad jumps and verticals, from insane one-handed grabs to big weapons that are shocking scouts everywhere (looking at you DK Metcalf and  Noah Fant) this class of quarterbacks and their weapons is insane.

What did we learn from the day of quarterbacks, wideouts and tight ends?

5. Haskins or Murray? Who is the top QB?

Kyler Murray out of Oklahoma chose not to throw or run at the NFL Combine. He was content to do measurements and interviews, saving the rest for his pro day at Oklahoma later this month. On the opposite side, Dwayne Haskins out of Ohio State chose to go ahead and run the drills and such offered by the combine.

Haskins only ran a 5.04 40, nothing fancy compared to some of the other guys who ran it. However, it is important to note that Haskins is not a dual-threat guy, but a guy who is going to have the ball in the air and throw touchdown after touchdown just like he did at Ohio State. He finished 2018 with 50 touchdown passes and a win at the Rose Bowl, so overall not a bad year and not a bad showing at the Combine for Haskins.

Murray had a great year at Oklahoma, but he has a few red flags and I don’t agree with his choice to quite basically sit out the Combine. In my opinion, I’m going with Dwayne Haskins over Kyler Murray. However, how much do these two really compare? One is a dual threat while the other focuses on the pass rather than making plays with his feet. They aren’t comparable as much in terms of style of play, but I would still go with Haskins if your team has the weapons necessary to succeed with guy who is much less of a dual threat.
