Whats more logical, a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a WR who may or may not stud out or acquiring Adams for that same 2nd or 3rd round pick?

I just might prefer Adams to a WR draft pick. Assuming everyone agrees we need another WR alongside Olave and Shaspeed.

The standard salary for a 2nd to 3rd round pick WR is significantly less than $36 million a year. So its not a 1:1 thing. We can have the draft pick and $34 million to spend on other players.

Looking at options from 2024 draft and free agency as examples vs Adams, would you rather have 32yo Adams or Adonai Mitchell, Darnell Mooney, Mile Williams, Derrick Henry, and $2 million to spare? I would take the 3 young players and the old RB over the old WR.
