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.

Yes you have to discount the value slightly as it's a future asset... however CC could always use this pick in a trade with a team who's looking further out. 1sts always have value and 2026 is only two seasons away. A high first could end up joining the team more quickly, or the pick could be packaged out next year when it's only a season out and has higher value.
two picks and a prospect is not bad value TBH.
