Initially I chose Foles since his basement is higher than Haskins. However, Haskins' ceiling is way higher. Also, I'm still not sure what the price will be for Foles. Will the Eagles trade him or will he buyout his current contract and go on the free agent market for a very steep price? I guess the most important question to answer is: " Can the current Jaguars team go deep into the playoffs with Foles at q.b. and the injured players returning to full strength?

Coughlin and Caldwell will have to make this decision. To me, the 2017-18 team had extremely unusual luck regarding lack of injuries combined with an easy schedule. I don't think the Jaguars can afford to give up the farm for either Foles or Haskins. Therefore, I would pass on Foles and make a reasonable trade offer to see if I could acquire Haskins. I guess I'd be willing to part with next year's first rounder and our 2nd 3rd rounder this year. That would enable them to draft an offensive lineman in the 2nd round and a receiver and tight end in the 3rd and 4th rounds. They'd still need to find a bridge quarterback for the right price.  If the price is too high for Haskins, I'd probably take Jones if he impresses at the senior bowl, combine and personal workouts. I want no part of Lock or Grier in round 1.

This is exactly why I prefer Haskins. "Playing it safe" might get you a decent QB, but taking a risk and going for broke could get you an elite QB. Haskins has an incredibly high ceiling. Just once in my lifetime I would like for the Jaguars to have a truly great QB. Maybe Haskins is that guy, maybe he's not. I believe he has shown he can be that type of QB though. Foles is good, but he is also very erratic at times and I just think he'd be a solid, yet unspectacular option. He'd obviously be much better than what we've had, but I also see him more of a middle of the road type QB in Jacksonville.
