Can only guess the kids we rated were gone by our pick. If Macrae had lasted one more pick I reckon we don't trade it.

Having said that why trade with the Cats who should play finals again when the Pies' future first was clearly on offer who could slide in 2021???

Maybe the Cats will tank next year and it'll be pick 1. Live in hope.

If we didnt rate any kids after our first pick id say we havent done due diligence even in a covid affected season.

I'd argue the fact we made the choice to trade that first pick, means they did indeed do their due diligence on this year's draft crop and next year's

Yes I didn't understand it but thankfully people explained why, the logic behind it without the need to belittle about my lack of knowledge around the strategy
