Best available whatever position he plays should be the priority.

At Pick 8 just take best available.

In the draft - pick 8 - it should be the best player available

In the trade - well who knows what we are thinking :-\ :help

But I wouldn't be surprised if we make a play for someone like Kingsley - who'll be cheap and would fit well to our fwd structure as a 3rd or 4th fiddle ;D

With the trade I think it all comes down to who's available - the key defender side of things is more likely to come out of a trade IMO than the draft

Agree.
The players that will best suit our needs(Hansen, Gumbleton) will likely be gone.
I went for inside mid, likely a Proud or a Selwood.
