The Miami Dolphins is torn between drafting a "safe" prospect with a proven track record and a higher$-$risk prospect with exceptional athletic ability. Considering the salary cap, which approach is generally more financially sound?

Question $67$ options:

Trading down in the draft order and acquiring additional draft picks to address multiple needs.

Drafting the high$-$risk prospect, who may require more development but has a higher ceiling for future contract negotiations.

Drafting the "safe" prospect, who is likely to contribute immediately but may not reach their full potential.

Signing a veteran free agent instead of using a draft pick, as their contract can be structured with less long$-$term commitment.
