I have to say that I'm more comfortable giving up all that capital for Wilson than Rogers. Not because I think Wilson is better, of course, he's certainly not.
But with Rogers the window might be one or two years. Imagine you give up all that trade capital and he gets hurt early in the season. With Wilson, the window is probably 5+ years, so you have time even if he gets injured, time to tweak the roster, etc.
I don't know if teams actually think of it this way, but you could view it as amortization. With Wilson the trade capital is amortized over a longer period.
