They’re loaded with picks for the first time in years; how many do you trade and how many do you keep?Compared to the past five years, the Tigers are now in unfamiliar territory.
Not only did they miss finals this year, they’re now approaching a trade period with a stacked draft hand that includes two picks in each of the first, second and third rounds.
The Tigers could also add more picks to their arsenal should Callum Coleman-Jones (trade) and/or Mabior Chol (free agency) ask to move to a rival club.
That would give the Tigers ample scope at the trade table to add players to a list still seen by experts as flag contenders next year, yet it would also present them with a golden chance to regenerate via the draft.
Considering their predicament, you’d expect the Tigers to retain the majority of their early picks, but they’re arguably better placed than any other club to strike a juicy deal for a big fish, should one emerge.
At this stage, though, there’s not a lot of big fish for sale.
