Blake is costing a mere $4.5 mil if kept than if we cut him. That's the bottom line, so why not keep him at least as a backup if not a bridge starter?

If we do get Haskins (say in a trade up to #3) we could even afford to let Blake start until he struggles or the rookie is ready allowing us to bring in some top free agents like TE Jared Cook.

Should we manage to get Foles in free agency, however, then Blake would be a great backup able to come in and perform in Foles goes down and providing insurance in case Foles struggles. The move would then allow us to draft Drew Lock at #7 with his phenomenal deep game wherein we can let him sit and develop properly his entire rookie season. Lock has much to learn about footwork and scrambling to buy time before he should ever step on the field, but his potential once developed is through the roof.

Or we could get a RT or TE (Hockenson) at #7 while getting Grier with our 2nd pick whether that means staying put or trading up to late round one in order to get the 5th year option on him. Grier could use a good year developing as well.
