That's a tough one. I'd grade Stroud better than Jones, but I feel like it would have been much cheaper to go up for Jones, like no future 1s involved in getting to 14 that year. Obviously Belicheat has done no favors for Jones's development, but I feel like the Colts offense would've been a better fit for him. I'd probably ultimately go with Stroud because he's the better talent of the two. He will cost more but in the long run it won't be noticeable.

I don't do Dane Brugler style rankings, and I don't post my opinions on every available player, so this would be nearly impossible to do. I would place your 20% estimate as low, however. I'm actually interested in tracking this if anyone has a way to do it. Maybe an instant redraft of who I would've drafted instead? Still hard to do, because we can never know what trades would be available, so it would be hard to argue taking Tremaine Edmunds and Derwin James instead of Quenton Nelson, for example, because we don't KNOW the Bills would have traded 12 and 22 for 6 that year.
