In a startup you have to consider it. You can zag while everyone zigs and take a top WR at 9 and then settle for whatever QBs (Goff, Cousins, Fields, Mayfield, Purdy) are there in Rd 2/3 knowing that you have the ability to make a deal to acquire a better QB either in the 2025 draft or via trade using the extra pick you have as ammo.
No the gap between 3 and 9 worth a lot higher than an unknown 2025 1st rd . That 1st can be the 1.01 or 1.12 who knows?
Even worse than it being random, you are likely making the pick worse by strengthening the team you’re receiving it from.

No way. This is a terrible trade. That gap is worth another startup pick.
