I can’t work why these guys think we would recruit a back flanker , who doesn’t look that special when Sharp or Cummings will be available . I can understand Grlj as he is fit for purpose but Taylor Just doesn’t make sense to me.
Agree on Sharp but I would take Taylor over both Cummings and Grlj. Taylor is 191cm but he could still shoot up a few cms and be a true KPD. If not he can still play as an undersized KP, third tall or most likely the interceptor quarterback or even a wing. By all accounts he is strong congested mark with an excellent kick. Grlj is an athletic speed demon and while I agree we need to inject some pace, taking him 5-8 picks earlier than what he’s rated just for that would be silly. Can always target speed in the next drafts. Cumming is a similar profile to Robey as that modern hybrid fwd/mid so I can’t see us taking both.
I just think in draft 2 of a rebuild with such early picks you take the best available talents and worry about fitting them all into the team later. While we’re all excited about last years crop there’s no garauntees than any/all of Lalor, Smillie, Hotton, Faull, Armstrong, Sims, Alger will make it. Think it’s risky to pass on Sharp just because you think you’ve already filled that spot with Smillie.
Longer this goes on, the more I just want Sharp and Robey.

What happened to Fred Rodriguez? Could have sworn he was being talked about as a top5 pick at the start of the year, now he’s pushing out to 40-50.
He didn’t perform well and is undersized
