Would you be okay if he got pressed into service and had to start? I do think with Foles, the Jags should have a shot at the playoffs come December. If Foles gets hurt, can the Jags really believe Grier, Thorston, Tyree, or even Lock/Finley could be good enough to not lose what could be an important game for the Jags?

I think Grier has just as good a chance as any QB in this class to come in and play well

Yeah... if he goes to a team with a solid OL and a couple weapons I like his chances.
And if he is drafted in round 2 the pressure is way off to come in and start right away and light it up.

If he's there with our rd 2 pick and we don't go Haskins in round 1 I really want us to snag him.
But it seems that the whole Foles thing might drastically change the draft. QB in first 3 rounds not likely by signing Foles.

Haskins, Grier, and Lock can start right away on the right teams imo. OL Protection is key for these guys while they are young as they all have their biggest flaws when pressured (which isn't abnormal with QBs) 

And when healthy (and perhaps with a top tier RG/RT) we actually could have a very good OL.
Which is beneficial whether we are starting Foles, Grier, or Bridgewater... whoever
