A drafted 3OA is a ‘free’ add to the team, but trading for a 3OA requires subtraction of good players, prospects, and/or future picks. They are also more likely to be cost-effective during their RFA years. Lindholm and Hanifan are rare examples of high picks traded during their RFA years and signing decent deals.
