If they manage to pick up Foles they're basically committing to him to be the franchise QB for a longer term (due to the $ that will require). Doesn't prevent them from going after a rookie this year or next, but it becomes a lesser priority. I think a better idea is to get one of the second tier QBs as a stop gap and then go after a prospect in each of the next two years (unless they draft a guy this year that exceeds expectations).
