But, there's no way the Jags draft him now. We have so many holes on offense... our draft picks are gonna have to be about protecting Foles and putting weapons around him. If we don't, and Foles struggles this season, then there will be too much speculation about how Foles wasn't provided the tools to get the job done.

Grier "slid" because of his meh showing at Senior bowl and sitting out the bowl game, along with the "arm strength concerns".

He was always talked about as a fringe first rounder and with Haskins and Murray declaring it kinda pushed him down, then after Senior bowl where he got a quarter or so to show off his stuff he was so-so and at the combine was off-timing quite a bit.
After his pro day he's "rising" because he looked better working with people who know him and he's probably fully healthy and there's no pressure.

The reality is he probably never moved from being a fringe first round to second round QB on most NFL GM draft boards.
Most of the "sliding" up and down boards is done by mockers and people like us 

And I agree, I don't see us selecting QB anywhere in the first 3 rounds.
Which is unfortunate... but in the next 2 drafts there are some studs... so Foles is the dude for now.
