In no way is that a Gene Smith move.

By signing Foles, you are going all in to win now. That’s obvious. You can’t “win now” with the weapons around Foles so they need to upgrade them. What better way to upgrade them than with the best WR in the game. OBJ continually destroys man coverage. More so than AB. In fact in 2018, OBJ set a record for beating man coverage 80% of the time. His only issue is that he has a QB who can’t get him the ball.

Trade the picks for OBJ. In the 2nd round draft a guard or TE.

Honestly I don't think the weapons are THAT far away. Aside from TE of course, add one more WR. The hard part with our WRs is something I heard yesterday: most of these guys on our roster have only had Bortles as their NFL QB. Take Lee for example, how often did he have to slow down/adjust routes just to try and catch an inaccurate pass from Blake? With an accurate QB, who knows what step these guys could take.

I think we'll see that our skill positions are a better than we thought.

I don’t disagree really with what you’re saying.

I think Chark and Westbrook benefit the most from the Foles signing. However we are still banking on two unproven guys and then an overrated Lee to come back fully healthy.

My OBJ trade idea is really about winning now because that’s clear by the signing of Foles. If people don’t like giving away the 2 thirds, how about this years first and next years first? If the Jags don’t make the playoffs this year, it’s a colossal failure.
