They could draft a qb and cut bortles for foles and we would have an inexpensive backup and foles on the tag for a year to figure out contracts if they cant right away

The Eagles aren't going to guarantee $20-25 M for Foles to trade him for "just" a third rounder.  That's non-sensical.  They're going to seek a 1st rounder and with the Giants, Redskins, Jaguars, Broncos, even the Bengals looking to upgrade their QB situation they'll likely get it - or at least a 2nd and additional picks.  

The Jags have too many holes to fill to give up valuable draft picks to either move up OR trade for a QB.  

I'd much rather see them trade back for extra picks instead.  Pick up someone like Lock or Grier in the 2nd, replace some of the players they'll be forced to cut with cheap draft picks.  We need help at OG, OT, TE, WR, QB - it's not a 1 year re-tooling.
