I would take 2 low to mid first round picks for Jones in a heartbeat. No more Justin Houston/Eric Berry mega-contracts. That's for Mahomes. Mahomes isn't nearly as susceptible to injury.

I disagree.
If Clowney can be had for a 2nd round pick and a mid-low round pick, I'd be all for it.
With the possibility to release Watkins and Hitchens soon, I don't think cap space would be a problem moving forward.
You have then the making of a real strong Dline for a few years and also depth next year with Okafor, Kpassagnon, Williams and Ogbah.
You draft a CB in the 1st round, not necessarily needing to move up.
You draft a LB at the end of the 2nd round.
You still have next year's 2nd round pick to move up if needed.
Maybe do something to add a half decent safety and this defense would look great IMO.
With a strong Dline, I'd be comfortable with a CB quartet of Fuller-Breeland-Ward and a 1st round pick.
And they can draft a C/G in the 3rd round.
