He wants Haskins more than I do lol and that’s saying something.

Hah, if Ramsey is tweeting about it then Haskins is gone, Jaguars usually do the opposite thing he tweets lol.

Seriously, I'm on board the Haskins train since a few months but I don't think we'll get him.
I feel like the team may find "the cost and opportunity" with Foles a much simpler route to follow: his market his not there so you probably can have him for much cheaper than it was thought a couple of months ago, you have all your draft picks so you can draft a playmaker at 7 (or trade back a few spots which is what I'd try to do in that situation) and also he's available for you in FA so all you have to do is beat a not so tough competition probably.

With Haskins at the moment you have no control over him being there for you unless you trade up to the number 1 pick (or n. 2 if the Cardinals don't want to move out of there cause they are set on Murray) who is obvoiusly not really likely to happen giving how much you'd have to give up probably.
And even if they trade up (I think you have to move up at least to 3 in any scenario if you want to make sure he's there) they'll have to give up draft capital to build around him which is something risky considering the state of our offense. I wouldn't hate it, I just don't think it's that likely to happen at the moment.
I could see them doing something like this if they actually think they can fill out a couple of holes on offense in FA (for exemple a Saffold over a RG in the draft? A TE in FA instead of investing a day 2 pick? Just throwing out some exemples) and are not too worried about the WR group.
It's just that at the moment I feel like they might see the Foles for 15-18M +all the draft picks scenario more simple and doable, they'd have to think Haskins is just a so much better option at this point to go after him and risk it considering it's a win or get fired year for the FO.

What could change the above reasoning is if there are 2-3 QBs they are fine with in the draft (don't think they are going after Murray but let's say they are ok with both Haskins and Lock for exemple) so they know they'll have one of them there at 7 or if they move up at 5, in that case I can see them not going after Foles but with a cheaper veteran (Keenum, Tannehills, Fitzpatrick, whoever) and the rookie.
But since this is the Haskins vs Foles threadI'm not commenting on this last scenario, if it's between those 2 I think that at the moment the Foles route is the one they more likely go with. And being one who hopes we get Haskins I'm also trying to calm down my expectations so I won't be too disappointed lol.
