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

You keep getting better and better with your TE choices...Gesicki with a whooping 22/202 and 0 TDs.

So you couldn't have gotten Hurst and I'll give you the best possible case scenario in that we got a Guard to replace Cann (who we just resigned) instead of a 3T to replace Jackson (11M cap savings).

AR signed a 3yr/42M contract so 14M a year...so lets add on to the cap hell...

Doing things your way...the differences would be:

QB - Bridgewater (10M a year)
WR - Arob added (14M a year)
OG - Will Hernandez added and Taven Bryan subtracted.
FS - Tyrann added (14M a year)
DE - Fowler added (14M a year)
52 Million in additional cap used

vs.

Foles (22M a year)
3rd round pick (Fowler Trade)
30 Million in additional cap to spend on whatever...

1.) Just looking at it big picture I think the Hernandez/Bryan picks are a wash as Bryan will fill in for a void left by M.Jackson release.  Both Hernandez/Bryan were rated as "above average" by PFF.
2.) Foles is clearly a better upgrade than Bridgewater...now if you wanted to say Bridgewater + AROB vs. Foles then I might see your way of thinking but that would almost force a QB pick in the 1st round this year which would be one less premier draft slot to build around him with....that's even praying that Haskins falls and doesn't have to be traded up for.
3.) Fowler//Yannick weren't going to stay on the team together...I would rather have Yannick locked in long term and the 3rd rounder than Fowler.
4.) Tyrann at 14M for a FS would be dumb for the cap situation the Jags are in.

Stop it Bro...
