My fear is that either there is not a true franchise QB in this upcoming draft, or that we won't be able to maneuver to get him. Just because a QB has a first round grade, doesn't mean he is a franchise QB (see: Leaf, Ryan). Just because the Jaguars have a need at QB, and just because many teams that look as though they will pick in the top 5-10 this year already have their QB position settled this year, doesn't mean we'll get one of the top ranked ones.

I agree. The only guys I am really high on are Herbert and Haskins. There is a chance, one or both doesn't even declare. I am starting to cool a bit on Lock. At this point, if Herbert and Haskins aren't in the mix, I trade out of the first round to accumulate picks for 2020. I then make sure I sign Ryan Fitzpatrick, to a 1 or 2 year deal. He's an UFA at the end of the season and he could at least make us competitive until we found our franchise guy. I don't wanna force the issue of drafting a QB either. I believe Herbert and Haskins are franchise players, but that doesn't mean we will be in position to get either one. If we can't, we go with option B and wait another year with Fitzpatrick at the helm.
