It's pointless risk. 

If he sucks this year you are paying a QB you don't want for another 2 seasons after that. All just to save 2 million? 

Relax. We have more than enough cap. We don't need to ease the signing of players. We are future proofed.

You keep saying that.

 I'm not so sure.

 I'd like to see your breakdown of the 2020 salary cap when the team is trying to re-sign Ngakoue, Jack, and maybe Fowler after they just made Ramsey the highest paid corner in the history of the league and they are also carrying a $30 million dollar per year quarterback? 

I don't see "future proofed" there.  I see money trouble. 

This is why I want to try to land a QB via the draft. So we can put off that big QB expense a few more years. 

Don't get me wrong. If the Jags find a QB that can prove his talent is worthy of sacrificing roster spots elsewhere - it's a good problem to have. I'm just not seeing any clear solution like that- none that are worthy of breaking up this defense.  A defense that you somehow think we can afford to retain along with a top tier QB contract in 2020. I just don't see it monetarily.
