$62m ain't nearly enough. Jones plus $30m is going to be laughably short. I really don't think it's the way to go. That's a LOT of guys on their way out if you do it.
And we've only got 5 draft picks at the moment.

According to OTC, we have almost $52 million in cap space for 2024. If we sign Jones to an extension his first couple years are going to be cheap. If we tag him we would still have $31 million in cap space, OTC says the franchise tag number is just under $21 million for either a DT or DE. We are just going to stick with those numbers instead of the stupid contract things that are not obtainable and missing games stuff that hurts his contract value and all that other swamp of possibilities.
Several of the guys you mentioned will be cheap, either by position or their depth level of play.
We will probably get a comp pick or 2 for losing that many players as long as we don't get too heavy on the FA spending early.
Donovan Smith, Sneed, Danna, Tranquill, and Hardman combined might get us a 4th and 6th.
