It’s clear Dwayne Haskins will be looking forward to facing the Giants twice a season. The Ohio State quarterback, selected by the Redskins with the No. 15 pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft, gave a rueful chuckle when the Giants selected Duke signal-caller Daniel Jones with the No. 6 pick. • Giants’ NFL Draft tracker: Live round-by-round picks and analysis Earlier in the pre-draft hype period, there was talk that Haskins could be a potential good fit for Big Blue, and the New Jersey native had given signs that he was interested in coming home. But general manager Dave Gettleman and the Giants had other plans.<doc-sep>Ohio State superstar Dwayne Haskins had been penciled in as the second quarterback to come off the board after Kyler Murray entered the draft, and many analysts and fans expected the New York Giants to take Haskins sixth overall – provided no other team traded up to take Haskins. Haskins broke Drew Brees’ single-season Big Ten record with an astonishing 50 touchdown passes during the 2018 season, but on Thursday night Haskins watched as the Giants elected to back up Eli Manning with Duke star Daniel Jones, a pick that was widely panned on Twitter. Haskins did not attend the draft in Nashville, and instead watched along with his friends in family from a bowling alley in Maryland. When Jones was announced as the No. 6 pick, Haskins let out a slight laugh and shook his head. This is delicious pic.twitter.com/fE5EDH1KdK — Tyler R. Tynes (@TylerRickyTynes) April 26, 2019 It’s possible that Haskins and Jones could become division rivals. Haskins said this week that he has a strong connection with the Redskins, and Washington is one of the teams in desperate need of a quarterback. Wait for it.

But as disappointed as the Giants fan base might be, the friends and family of Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins might give them a run for their money. Video of Haskins’ draft party shows that his guests did not take kindly to hearing the Giants draft a quarterback that wasn’t from Ohio State. The boos were loud, and the disgust on some of their faces was clear. As for Haskins himself, he kept his head down with his eyes on his phone. He did chuckle, but it’s hard to tell if that was out of amusement at the pick or something on his screen. Haskins was widely considered one of the best – if not the best – quarterback prospects in the NFL draft. He had a historic season at Ohio State, leading the team to a 13-1 record while setting countless school and conference records. As of the 11th pick in the draft, Haskins has yet to be drafted.

But it’s very unlikely that Haskins will fall out of the first round entirely. The Broncos, Dolphins, Raiders, and even the Patriots may be in a position to draft him before the night is through. Nevertheless, Haskins has to be disappointed for not getting drafted sooner – and many Giants fans can sympathize.<doc-sep>Paul Vernon/Associated Press Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins is apparently going to revel at the opportunity to play the New York Giants twice a season. The Ohio State product was seen laughing when the Giants selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the No. 6 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft. Haskins, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2018 while leading the Buckeyes to Big Ten and Rose Bowl titles, fell to No. 15, where Washington was waiting. Haskins threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2018, while Jones threw for 2,674, 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions during the same season. The two could decide NFC East titles for years to come if they become franchise quarterbacks for their respective teams, and Haskins’ laughter can serve as an early storyline.<doc-sep>

It’s unclear whether Haskins was upset about being passed over by New York, or whether he was being dismissive of Jones as a player. While the 21-year-old Haskins wasn’t the second quarterback off the board, he didn’t have to wait long. Washington struck at No. 15, taking Haskins and creating a situation where he could face off against Jones and the Giants the rest of his career. Haskins carried over some of that fire into his first interview after being drafted. He said he had a chip on his shoulder, and that “the league done messed up.” Dwayne Haskins is going to try and prove the Giants wrong.

His rivalry with Jones, however, may have to wait. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said it could be three years before Jones — who was drafted No. 6 overall — actually takes the field. ——— Chris Cwik is a writer for Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?
