I would get some of those picks in the 2025 draft too. Not sold on this draft having franchise answers in it after the top 5 or 10.
I'd look to get a mix of picks over a few drafts and use the next 2 or 3 to load up on that next core.
That might allow them to get higher picks back too. More likely a team will pony up a 2025 1st than one from the draft they're scouting/preparing for.
