To those of you disappointed by the Foles deal, what would you have done differently?

I also would've got Tyrann at FS, kept fowler, and drafted either another OL, WR, or went LB with a trade back this year.  I wanted GB 12 and 30 round 1 picks for TE and OL and WR with our high second if our record was the same.  I knew this QB class would be weak during last years draft, so i wouldnt force a QB pick on us now.  Alot of holes would be filled at this point with a base on offense to work with but thats just me. I also wanted teddy last offseason as a backup since Sam Cousins and Teddy were all on the same roster.
Well thank goodness your not the GM...

1.) Hayden Hurst sucked last year...In 12 games he was 13 catches/163yards and 1 TD...ASJ in 5 games was 11/90 and 1 TD.

2.) Will Hernandez isn't ever going to be a NFL Tackle so you would have replaced AJ Cann...

3.)Fowler + Tyrann contracts both would equal = 28M per year which is 6M more than Foles so we would be even more restricted cap wise...lets assume you could even net Bridgewater for 10M a year.

4.) As for the draft part that can still happen so I won't nitpick it.

So your way would have netted us Bortles/Bridgewater as the QBs....Tyrann at FS...Fowler @ DE...and roughly (14M + 14M + 10M ) - Foles (22M) less cap space....16M less cap space so more cuts would be required...

Hayden Hurst wasnt my number one choice but was highly touted as a good TE.  I liked Gesicki more and would've preferred him but we'll never know..also even replacing cann would've secured guard and all we would need is a competent tackle if Richardson doesnt work out.  I was ok getting rid of gipson and i wouldnt have paid moncrief at all but kept hurns or ar if possible.  We would have a decent WR core only need depth at OL outside or RT and would have the ability to go TE this year and even get a RT to compete with Richardson.  Get a possible starter on Defense at LB or depth and also be able to acquire more.  We are in cap hell due to Dareus coming late and Campbell not fixing his contract yet.  Better team overall and still only a drafted QB away from success with needed depth at this point.  Stop it bro

2023 and still counting.....SB will finally be ours soon enough.
