So would trade pick 11 for a kid like Adams who has played 20 odd games?
No, not unless it was part of a bigger deal involving other pick swaps but I would still be much more likely to consider that trade than pick 11 for McEvoy. I rate the importance of quality midfielders higher than ruckmen - pure and simple.
But not give that pick for a ruckman who has played 90 odd games, a ruckman with excellent hands and a body to compete with any ruckman in the league. A ruckman that could play that position for the next 8 to 10 years.
McEvoy is 25 next July, he has 6 years max left - a 20 year old midfielder who has already shown he has above average attributes in his 20 odd games has at least 10 years left.
A ruckman that would have to be in the top 5 ruckman in the comp.
Mumford, Cox, Natanui, Jacobs, Hale, Goldstein, Lueunberger, Sandilands, Minson are all better ruckmen than McEvoy. I rate him on a par with Maric, Pyke, Kruezer, Warnock, West, Ryder and in the next couple of years a number of young ruckmen are going to pass him - Giles, Smith, Grundy, Vardy, Clarke.
Yer not worth pick 11.
Nope, not even close.
