3 things the Utah Jazz can do with all their draft capital

Double their odds of finding a star
If the team decides to move on from Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic, Beverly, and Clarkson, they could add at least a dozen first-round picks over the next few years. The Jazz already have two additional firsts in next year’s draft, and extras in five of the next six drafts, so their arsenal will only continue to grow.
These assets provide the team with options, one of which is to combine their bonus selections to try and add a second lottery pick in future drafts. That would give them not one, but two chances in virtually every upcoming draft to find their next franchise player.
Even if the Jazz don’t find that player, they could still add two promising young prospects to the team each year. That would allow the team to slowly get better and, once they have a player worth building around, get the Jazz back to the playoffs quicker.
