It's great that Foles can throw a high ball that makes it hard for the defenders to get a hand on it, but we don't have anybody on this roster who can go up and get the football like Jeffery can...

This receiving core basically consists of Dede Westbrook and that's about it. Not a knock on Dede, I think he's good, but high pointing balls isn't his game. They're going to have to address that need with a rookie and hope he can instantly produce.

And obvious I don't even need to get started on our TE situation... We can't expect a rookie to come in playing like a 4th+ year Zach Ertz...

Do you think there's a chance Foles knew which receivers he could throw high to on this team? 

And I'd not rule out Chark, or Cole, or the as yet unacquired TEs and WRs still to be added for being able to go up and get a strategically thrown high pass. 

All of this "Foles won't be any good without X" talk is so silly right now. We haven't even had the draft yet and we've got 5 picks between #7 and #110. 

Not to mention we are only one day into free agency. 

The other silly thing about all of this comparison of the Jags roster to the eagles is that it completely ignores Foles and DeFilippo likely making players like Westbrook, Chark, Lee, and Fournette way more productive than Hackett and Blake freaking Bortles could.
