How long is a piece of string? He was shaping up brilliantly. If he maintained form would have gone easily top 10. I am sure ACL’s have “degrees”, the prognosis will be all important.What are your thoughts on the injured Taj Hotton Coona?
Where is he likely to be picked?
Could still go first round, but suspect might slide considerably. His brother was a high pick and has struggled to get on the park at the Saints, so may have some “loading”.
If the bid on Ben is after our first pick, I would not complain if we drafted Hotton. I believe we would manage his rehab well and give him every chance. He has significant x-factor based off a relatively small sample. We do not need instant impact from draftees. Think I would be howled down by the masses who are over our injury problems though.
Still think I would prefer a KPP if we get a free hit late in the first round to future proof our list though. Has to be a suitable one around the mark though.
