If Foles is ready and the team feels it's time to put Minshew on the bench it is what it is. It's a good problem to have.

For a 6th round pick, Minshew has been incredible. He's doing everything you want and then some.

I just want to find the QB who finally defines this franchise and I would be willing to draft as many as it takes to find him.

On the surface this reach sounds plausible until you consider that these guys don't always emerge in the preseason of their rookie year as the undeniable savior of your franchise. 

It's completely possible that Minshew becomes the guy you are looking for but it takes till year three to round out his game. 

It's completely possible that Foles is capable of leading the 2020 Jags deep into the playoffs.

It's completely possible that you trade up in April for your favorite QB prospect only for him to struggle for two years before being a capable starter. 

MORE IMPORTANT than any of that is that you can't just flood a QB room with valuable prospects and expect to have enough time to properly evaluate them on equal footing in one offseason.  There aren't enough reps to go around.  

I am completely happy rolling into next summer's camp with Foles, Minshew and Dobbs ready to compete. And I'd be fine trading one of them NEXT October if value is presented and the other two are healthy. 

There is such a thing as bad timing in draft cycles and looking to draft a QB in 2020 is exactly that IMO.
