After the 2019 season we can cut Blake for a cap hit of 5 Mio, but that cap space wont be nearly enough to sign Ramsey, Ngakoue and Jack, so even more players will have to leave, leaving us with a rebuild that will only be hampered by the salary Foles will commend for the next 3-4 years. Instead of retooling entirely through the draft we will pay Foles loads of money for us to be a below average team, instead of building up a cheaper, young QB through the draft(s).

This is what happens when you don't consistently draft well and count on free agency to stay competitive.

Maybe, but frankly these bandaid solutions where we play it safe instead of going for more upside (and risk bad picks) is the reason we never got very far. We drafted badly but you cant stop trying, the Browns were so incredibly bad and now they look pretty decent with a nice young QB that got the fans excited for what is to come. We need the draft, we have to try, it takes one good pick to change a franchise, one QB that works out and our luck changes. Its not easy, but its that simple.
