With Jones leaving Edmonton like he did, I can imagine if he asks for Franklin who's under contract for another year with the Esks that the price that Edmonton asks is going to be a franchise crippling cost.
The Riders have very weak Canadian depth and overall team depth so they can't afford to give up Canadians or their first round pick, but that's exactly what Edmonton would ask for.
I'd probably start with their first this year and probably St John and then add some pieces from there.
As far as DD goes, I don't think he's a Jones guy and the biggest way that an ego like Jones can put his stamp on this team is at QB.
Don't be suprised if DD leaves and Jones doesn't find a decent replacement because Edmonton tell him to pound sand. And the the Riders have a 3-15 season in their new diggs.
