Foles' salary is in the middle of the league. He's a quarterback that (many say) ranks in the middle of the league. I actually dispute that. I think Nick is a a high top ten QB == if he has the right players around him. So for the Jags, they need to use as many as their picks as they can to draft weapons and build the OL. It's easier to do that now that the first pick won't be going to draft a QB.  We can draft that TE from Iowa. Or a great OT.  We can get a RB with one of those third round picks, and with the second and third, we can draft WRs and TEs.  Our OL really was actually pretty decent when they were healthy.

I understand what you are saying but.....


There were always two different groups. Those who know football and saw the strengths and weaknesses of last season, and those who just wanted BB5 out cause they needed someone to blame and watched that one piece instead of the whole board.  

You cant group us together. The Foles signing only looks good if the pieces around him are stellar. And we aint got that.
