Then add 3 more years to see if you have a player from it, maybe 4. This is a ~5 year investment. That isn't planning for now, this is planning for 2030. Decent chance the front office won't even see the fruits of their labor, coaching staff will have changed, perhaps twice.

I would trade for as many firsts as far into the future as possible. Good teams could be bad in 2 - 3 years from now and vice versa. If I had two choices:
1. Taking a first rounder in 2024 that is probably going to be in the 15 - 31 range
2. Taking a first rounder in 2026 that could be anywhere from 1 - 31
I would take the Option 2 in 2026 every time.
