How to play this off-season with free agency?

Jones is tagged then traded to the Seahawks for their 2020 first round pick (27) and their 2021 fourth rounder. Now with two first round picks, KC moves back by trading their own first round pick (32) to Atlanta in exchange for their 2020 second round pick (55), third round pick (78), and a future fourth rounder. That gives the Chiefs:

1st: 27
2nd: 55, 63
3rd: 78, 96
4th: 135
Plus Atlanta's and Seattle's 2021 fourth rounders.

Mahomes will be the highest paid player in the league, which is going to force the Chiefs to acquire more talent through the draft and less through free agency. I think Jones is gone unfortunately.

I used this trade value chart to try and stay realistic:

I doubt Jones is going to command more draft capital than Clark given the positions they play. We gave up pick 30 and a future second rounder for Clark.

Jones is worth more than that for compensation.

Maybe, but I'm operating under the assumption that Jones will command less in draft capital than Clark did, given the positions they play.

Frank Clark: Pick 30 (620 value points) + future second
Chris Jones: Pick 27 (680 value points) + future fourth
