I think is is a plausible situation. If Florida really want Jones (rated the top prospect plus fills a need) they might make that trade to ensure they get him. You never know if on draft day Colorado goes all Ditka and offers all their picks so they can get Jones. Definitely only works if Colorado is genuinely interested (which I think they are) and Florida is paranoid enough to think Colorado may be crazy enough to overpay to get Jones.
If someone is going to overpay I think you need to listen.
