We find out whether or not Minshew is the real deal - and build a team around him/the Jags to succeed.

Or we're in play for Trevor Lawrence in the following draft.

Exactly. This is also a tough schedule on paper this year. Would rather not to take a rookie QB from this class. There's too many question marks between Tagovailoa's durability, Herbert's inconsistency, inaccuracy and lack of "fire" in the huddle and Love pretty much came out of nowhere last minute as we typically see every year at the QB position. And his numbers were pretty lack luster last year. 

Take your chance with Minshew. Build around him in this year's draft. And he fails he fails. You have a pair of first round picks to move up to land Lawrence or maybe even land Fields to take over the reigns. And you still have Minshew as a back-up on a cheap rookie contract. It only serves to benefit this team in the long run. 

Rushing for a QB in this year's draft would remind me of 2003 all over again where they could have rolled another year with Brunell / Garrard but couldn't wait to draft Leftwich. The following year then results in one of the best QB classes during the modern era in RD1 between Manning, Rivers & Roethlisberger. This team missed out stupendously with Leftwich the year before.
