When the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants on a last second touchdown back in January, the Giants ensured the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. For the Jaguars this meant they, another quarterback needy team, would not be the lead team in the Dwayne Haskins sweepstakes come draft day. If Tom Coughlin saw Haskins as the team’s future, he might need to jump ahead of his old team, who themselves are in the twilight of Eli Manning’s career.
The Jaguars signing of Nick Foles, for all intents and purposes, meant their interest in a quarterback at number seven no longer existed, with attention now focused on defensive tackle, offensive tackle, or tight end.
