This crop of QBs has to give you some pause about reaching for a guy out of need. 

I personally feel the top three candidates could all represent an easy upgrade to the position for the Jags. 
But yes, there is danger they may not be ready to start early on and there may be better candidates next year. 
In a perfect world - I'd love a trade down to take a QB like Grier in the mid first and gain extra picks to round out the line, TEs and receivers. 

Wouldn't have to prevent another QB pick in 2020 if the 2019 draft pick isn't showing the progress they want. 
Though it would make taking one there a bit less likely.

I mean you can’t put all the eggs in the 2020 basket. What if Tua and Fromm stay in school? Then what? The Jags would have punted in 2019 and 2020. So it’s in to 2021 with no young QB on the roster? Seems suspect.

I think the Jags absolutely have to draft a QB early in this draft. Whether that's at #7 - with a trade down in the first - or at #38.  

They need to get a guy that they feel had a chance to upgrade the position. What they do in FA will impact this, but outside of swinging for the fences in FA - I think they should target a rookie QB that has a solid chance of starting some games in year one. For me - that means Haskins or Grier with Lock a lesser somewhat possibility as he'll need time IMO. 

My post was simply acknowledging the argument about this not being a deep class and featuring guys with some question marks. 

A bridge QB in free agency and an early round rookie are what I believe the team is destined for - and I'm totally good with that.
