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...

You and this cap talk.  I'm no expert on the cap but i was going along the lines of Blake + Arob and maybe Teddy took over eventually or this season to lead us to QB next draft not this one.  I wanted to see Fowler at OLB like at UF moreso than strictly DE but thats another thing.  Foles maybe better than BB/Bridgewater but i'll take a more built team overall than a QB 30 plus just cause.  I cant say Gesecki or Hurst would've had the same output here and how i would've used them but thats neither here nor there also.  Tyrann is because of where we are now.  If i had my choices then we could go FS this draft and save that money and still get a pick high for OL or TE with Defensive depth next.  We could keep going but my way would've made this team alot more fit for the future than this ship or bust situation we are in now trying to hold strong.
