Agreed about Ocon's skills ... however he's pretty much Merc's driver. The only reason why he was in consideration with Renault is because Wolff has enough incentives to dangle in front of even Renault. He was really only going to be on-loan like Sainz with Renault.
IMO ... if Stroll ends up buying Force India ... then Ocon will likely go to Williams, since Merc wants to make sure to keep Ocon in their back pockets for if/when Ham decides to retire.
Regarding Haas ... scuttlebutt is Leclerc. As much as Haas grouses about not wanting to be a Ferrari feeder team ... if Ferrari wants him there ... better believe it will happen.
Which will likely leave Grosjean going to Sauber. I also see Sainz going to McLaren - who know's what's going on with Alonso. Although McLaren has the ability to upset the mix depending on Alonso.
