If the Jags pass on Haskins and he turns out to be Ben Roethlisberger or a QB of that quality, the Jags will be kicking themselves just like they have been for a while. Passed on Mahomes, Watson, Haskins.....

You always prop up Haskins, you can insert any QB name in there.  He might not even be the top QB on our draft board or top 2.  I could easily see them having Murray and Lock rated higher

If Lock is the top QB on their board should they take him at 7 if he's there?

Yes... They should. He's not my top QB but if they feel he's a true franchise guy, please select him.

I only talk about Haskins because he's the only true franchise QB in this draft..... In my opinion. I wouldn't take Lock or Murray or Jones or Grier but that's just me. The really great teams are always thinking 2 steps ahead while the Jags almost always try to use a band aid to fix mistakes. Botch the Fowler pick? Hey let's go sign Campbell (that worked). Botched ARob leaving? Hey let's give Moncrief money! Botch Bortles? Hey let's give Foles some money! Fournette is sucking? Hey let's trade for Hyde!

Chiefs had a QB who led them to the playoffs but then drafted up to take Mahomes. Packers had Favre still playing at a high level but selected Rodgers. Eagles had just signed Bradford but traded up for Wentz. Seahawks gave a ton of money to Matt Flynn but took Wilson in the 3rd and let him compete.

To me, Foles is a band aid. The Jags will be looking for another QB in 3 years. Not because Foles plays poorly (I hope) but it's because they didn't truly address the QB position until it was too late.
