Where you spend your pick at DT is directly correlated to what you do in FA at the position. If you sign more washed-up shit and then only spend a day 3 pick there and something does happen to Jones, then it's likely going to be a really rough ride.
Yeah, I think our difference in position here comes down mostly to risk tolerance. And even at that, we aren't THAT far apart; maybe a round in the draft and a few million bucks shifted one direction or another.

I recognize the chance that Jones could miss some time - I'm just more willing to accept the risk and use more capital elsewhere.

I think my approach would yield a higher ceiling but certainly a lower floor. And hell, with Mahomes under center, maybe targeting the higher floor is the smarter play.
