Historically dman picked high, even if they are good still don't tend to be as good as the forwards picked in the top 5. There is less risk getting a forward.
I think in a lot of drafts (like last year) there would be no debate - Jones would be the clear number 1. This draft though has a number of guys at the top end that in many years all would merit #1 consideration. Makes it less certain.
