So, OP speaks to the arod deal as though it is done fully in hindsight. Applying the same benefit to the darnold deal, I think there’s no question that deal was worse.
Iirc, the Sam price was #6 overall and three years worth of 2nds to move to #3. This was an unproven prospect, and the price was signifigantly more via draft capital.
Vs a 2 time MVP, at the cost of moving back 2 slots in the first and two 2nds.
If the a rod deal doesn’t work out, it looks to be a reasonable gamble even in retrospect. The Sam deal in hindsight isn’t a disaster, but it’s worse imo.

You have to consider the situation at the time of these deals.
