The 2019 NFL Draft is quickly approaching and the talk now is who's draft stock is rising and whose draft stock is falling.
Right after the college football season ended, there was talk that Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins could be the first quarterback taken, but according to Peter King who wrote in Football Morning in America that probably won't be the case anymore, and there is a chance he could fall all the way to the fourth quarterback taken.

Brown, defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons, corners Byron Murphy and DeAndre Baker, and defensive end Jachai Polite fall to the second round. I hear Dwayne Haskins could plummet, but that could be late-prep lying too.”
Kyler Murray is expected to be the first quarterback taken, but there is some thought that Drew Lock and Daniel Jones could be taken before Haskins too. The big question with Haskins and his draft stock is, are teams being scared off of him or is this just more where the hype should have been when the college football season ended.
The good news for Haskins is, it doesn't matter if almost every team in the league doesn't like him, all it takes is one team to like him, and he could still be a high draft pick. The best case scenario might be for Haskins to be a backup for a year or two and get his feet wet in the NFL before becoming a starter.
