So because the rookie may not help right away, we shouldn’t draft them?

Drafting Haskins would be for the future and I’m not so sure he would fail if he started day 1. The overall class may not be strong but there is one QB who is.... Haskins.

That's not where I was going with my armchair GM assessment. 

Haskins is going to be the apple of a few teams eye so unless the Jags are will to invest more picks to move up (possibly to the 1st pick) then they may miss out on him. You have to ask yourself another question, is he worth multiple 1st round picks? Because that may be the price tag to land the spot to pick him.

I look at it this way, Foles is what? 26 years old? and he's a winner. He has everything your looking for in a franchise QB. I guarantee you the decision to let him leave Philly in favor of Wentz has been as easy as they make appear.
