was it ever confirmed Haskins was "100%" Snyder's pick? This was a rampant rumor on draft day, but beat reporters seemed to back off/debunk this in the days following the draft.
As with every player, different people within the organization had different opinions on Haskins' draft value... And part of that difference of opinion dealt with how long people thought it would take him to be NFL-ready. If you think a guy can start day 1, you're going to draft him higher than if you think he needs to sit a year.
So even if, as those initial reports claimed, every single coach and scout and front office guy was against Haskins at 15, but Snyder "took control of the first round" and overruled them all, that does not correlate to Snyder making the decision on when he starts. Its entirely possible Snyder wanted to get his franchise QB of the future at 15, but he'll let the coaches decide when he plays.
