I find that hard to believe, but....if he is available, we should take him despite having signed Foles.  I'm as excited as anyone about Nick's arrival in Duval, but we need to plan for contingencies. What if Foles doesn't work out? Are we stuck with a bad QB for the next two years?

If we take Haskins, he can sit on the bench and learn from the starter--something Blake should have done his rookie year. If Foles doesn't work out, he can back Haskins in 2020, and then we can release him with little damage to our cap. But what if Foles exceeds our wildest expectations?  In that case, Haskins becomes trade bait. Teams will make some pretty dumb trades to get a quality QB--look at what Buffalo gave up to get Rob Johnson.

I know people want a TE or a WR. We can still get a good one in the second and third rounds.

"If Foles doesn't work out..."

Trouble is, Foles won't work out if we don't get linemen who can protect him and playmakers who can catch passes.   If we use the 7th overall pick on another QB, who will be sitting on the bench while we figure out whether Foles will work out, we are making it that much more difficult for Foles to have success.   

So if Haskins is available, my first choice would be to trade down.   My second choice would be to use the pick for an offensive tackle or a TE.
