The Giants — who are still trying to make up for the fact that they traded away OBJ — have met with Dwayne Haskins ahead of Ohio State Pro Day.

According to the report, all the so-called “big guns” came out to observe Haskins. They arrived there last night, and took the young hopeful out to dinner ahead of his exhibition.
Head coach Pat Shurmur and his offensive coordinator, Mike Shula, were in attendance, as were Chris Mara, senior vice president of player personnel, Kevin Abrams, vice president of football operations and assistant general manager, and Chris Pettit, director of college scouting were all in attendance.
Their attendance is a good sign for Dwayne Haskins.
Haskins is certainly in play for the Giants with the No. 6 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. General manager Dave Gettleman has said he wants to find the successor to Eli Manning this year if at all possible, and Haskins is likely at or near the top of the list as a consideration. In his one and only year as a starter for the Buckeyes, Haskins set single-season Big Ten records for passing yards and passing touchdowns.
Last month at the combine, Dwayne Haskins recounted growing up in Highland Park, NJ, as a fan of the Giants before his family moved to Maryland. “New York, of course, would be a great spot for me,’’ Haskins said at the time, which of course we told you about.
It will be interesting to see if Haskins is, in fact, recruited by the Giants at the end of it all.
