If you've even seen a "straight print" of an Adams negative, you'd realise his real genius was in the darkroom, not so much as a photographer.
I saw a major exhibition of his at the Boston MoMA many years ago. There was a separate side exhibition of his darkroom prowess and what a straight print looked like before he worked his magic. It really brought home that he was a good, but not exceptional photographer, an absolute genious in the darkroom though.
Having a box of negs will not create magic without a whole lot of other skills.
