If the team sees Stone as a number 4 type guy, he's willing to be #5, and you can sign him to a few year deal for good value why wouldn't you do that? Even if it puts our 5/6 cost a little higher than preferred, once the young guys prove they're capable you have an asset to move for those picks you're all hoping we recover.
Take the insurance now if he'll sign or fear the Bart in your top 4 if injuries happen.
