As far as I can see if we want another top 20 pick one of the following would need to happen.
- Split pick 7 into two top 20 picks in the teens. (Unlikely but possible)
- Trade next years first pick for a pick in this years first round. (Unlikely but possible)
- Trade CCJ - our only player with currency. (Hope we don't do this btw)
Any other bright ( sensible) ideas?
It's been mentioned before but we could convince the Dogs to trade their first rounder (~14) for a bundle of our later picks (28, 40 & 44) that give them the draft points they need for an early bid on Darcy. That would leave us with picks 7, 14, 16 & 26.
It depends on what they get for Lipinski. If the Pies or Blues cough up an early second rounder (20 or 25) for him then the Dogs won't need to trade their first. However, if they only get a 3rd rounder then they will need to generate the points by some other means. Trading with us would avoid them having to use a decent future pick.
