Totally agree that this should be the goal and approach. My only caveat to the above is that teams may be much more hesitant to move 1sts in future drafts that are a.) perceived to be in stronger drafts and b.) less certainty where the draft pick might land of the trading team has a bad year.
I’d for sure be pushing for a mix of 2024 and 2025 for sure, but if teams are unwilling I’ll gladly still take all 2024 picks if we have no other options
