Bold prediction?  Minshew remains the starting QB, and some contending team has a significant QB injury in the preseason and we cook up a deal to get Foles off the books in a trade before the season starts.  The team then goes 2-14, and the new front office has an opportunity to draft Trevor Lawrence.

For a chance at Trevor Lawrence? Someone get Tonya Harding on the phone. Let's make it happen.

If we have to Gillooly someone to get to that top spot, it might be worth it.  I'm holding out hope that the incompetence demonstrated by this front office and coaching staff over the past decade will pave the way to landing that coveted first pick next year, although as usual, I'm sure we'll find a way to screw that up.
