Post Foles Signing - Ideal Draft Now?

Do you still grab Haskins now that you are fully locked in with Foles for 2-3 years?

I still feel like we go all in on on supporting cast...so OL/TE/TE/OL/WR in the 1st 4 rounds.

What is your ideal draft now?

With the Foles signing, it is unrealistic to believe they will sign any more free agents who will become starters on day 1. They still need to pay Yannick and Ramsay so it would be foolish to go after guys like Golden Tate or Daryl Williams, who would meet needs but cost too much. Based on that, the Jaguars will need to draft, in order of importance:

1. Offensive line/tight end (tie)
2. Wide receiver
3. Free safety
4. Running back
5. Linebacker
6. Developmental quarterback
7. Linebacker depth

It is not unfeasible to believe they can end up with 3 immediate starters if they draft well (like 3 years ago). Ideally, Drew Lock will light it up at his pro-day and enable the Jaguars to trade back to a team like the Dolphins, Redskins or Broncos (to learn from Flacco). Assuming that does not happen, my ideal draft would look like this:

Rd. 1  Hockenson (only other possibilities are Taylor or defensive stud who drops like Q. Williams).

Rd. 2 Lindtrom ( Very safe pick and immediate starter). Alternative picks are McCoy, Bradberry and Risner. 

Rd. 3 Tytus Howard- May not start immediately, but future starting right tackle. Richardson better be ready.

Rd. 3 McClaurin (many other options at receiver who should compete immediately).

Rd. 4 Will Grier - His stock has dropped a lot so he may be there. Finley is another good option here. 

Rd. 6 and 7 - BAP at any of the above positions of need.
