Rumour ...

Having picks 20 & 21 instead of picks 12 and 31 ??? Not the worst ...

[Penelope]

picks 20+ are arse.

pick 12 should get you a good player

[Diocletian]

Draft is weak but it's not that weak...should still be able to snag a couple of decent kids at 20 & 21.....of course the main impediment to that is whether Hackson can...

[WilliamPowell]

With this year's draft supposedly very shallow after the first round, you wouldn't trade your first rounder when your pick is middle of the pack unless you are getting a gun

Pick 20 makes you fall outside the 1st round

Yarran isn't worth that IMV

[Diocletian]

There'll be a few more than just 18 good players in the draft.....Kevin Sheehan said after the champs there should still be talent to be found in the 30's....as I said, the big problem for Richmond is that our recruiters struggle with picks after the first round even in the most bountiful of times and some would argue haven't always nailed the first rounders either....but if we could somehow still land two kids like, say, Crocker & Rioli, it'd be a good result IMO...

Completely agree Dioc. Would love either or both of these and there are others that may still be around too. However, we almost never go for exciting X factor types. We usually play safe…..

picks 20-50 go at about 30% chance of getting a 100 game player.
 
1-10 was 60 % and from memory 10-20 wasnt too far behind.

12 is too good of a pick to lose to get yarran

Agreed. Carlton don't really have much leverage here. They can either A). Take an extra 2nd round pick whilst rebuilding. Even in a shallow draft that's a decent enough result. or B). retain a guy who DOESN'T want to be there, who has a previous history of poor behaviour, playing with and influencing their younger picks who are their future. Can't understand their logic. Take what you can get an run...

I had a quick look at how Hawthorne built their team that won this years premiership.

very few players drafted with picks that people would call 2nd rounders. They have been more than happy to trade these picks out.

The only player in that team that they traded an early pick for was Burguoine, who is a class above yarran

if i can be arsed at some stage i will put the info together..maybe

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Here's a scenario:

Not sure if its already been suggested, but something along the lines of Yarran + Henderson for our first rounder and Lennon?

Henderson would sure up our backline (if we trade Astbury we enter the draft around the 20 mark but Henderson covers the loss)

and Yarran playing up to his potential next year & '17 is what Lennon might become a few years later.

Gamble, giving up a lot, but I'd take it.

Not for fj they aren't
