I'd have preferred the NJD 1st in '25 to TOR's 1st in '24 anyways.
I love the idea of spreading picks across these next three years - so having two 1st rounders in each of 24, 25, 26 is awesome. Also, the TOR 1st is locked at 23rd OA, and there's a cost of opportunity when looking at it over the NJD pick. That NJD has a chance of being 11th-22nd - so I take that upside while also knowing you're going to have a full year to assess the 2025 draft while knowing you have two 1st round picks (most likely).
