But what do almost all of those QBs have in common? They were late 1st round QBs. I’m not advocating for jumping back in the end of the 1st but instead, trade up for just Haskins.

So, basically, you're saying we should use our 7th overall pick, plus other high picks, to trade up and draft a rookie QB, who would then have the same supporting cast as last year, because we would have traded away the draft picks we could have used to improve our offense.  

I say, we should sign Foles, and use our draft picks to improve the supporting cast around him.   

I think my plan is much better.

No. You don't have to trade all those picks in one year. You can trade future picks. This is just a for instance, it's not necessarily the actual deal we would make, but I'm just using this as an example. We could trade our first and one of our 3rd's this season, our first and 3rd next season and a 2nd in 2021, if that's what it takes. That still gives us a franchise QB this year, a premier OG or TE in round 2, the same options with our remaining 3rd round pick in round 3 and a WR in round 4. Plus, we may trade Malik Jackson and add another 4th or 5th round pick as well. We could've traded up, gotten our franchise QB and still have added key pieces around him.
