I'm massive on Draper. I'd take him at 1. I don't get why we apparently don't rate him.

Well apparently according to a few on here we're not fans of Draper.. which is just bizarre really.

I think Adelaide will get 2 and take Smith. Carlton FOS or Draper. Then North takes FOS or Tauru at 4.
Dees won’t take Tauru at 5, they have clearly said they are taking best available on talent and not drafting by needs.
Which would have us taking the top 5 mid who slides, regardless who it is.
There is every chance he is there at pick 9 as well if we want him.

I'm surprised by that. is there more to it
I swear if I hear one more Dees supporter say Taylor told us we'll take mids I'll throw up. Misson said Saints will take mids today and Cal subsequently marked us down for Tobie and Tauru. It's the draft, believe nothing that comes out of a recruiters mouth until the number is called out.

Totally agree on this. Recruiters have nothing to gain by telling any truth before the draft.
I was a little pd off Taylor said we're recruiting mids.
Even if he was lying, he just lied to the whole dinner when didn't have too.
He didn't have to do it. No recruiter should. It's a game of poker with a lot at stake before draft night.

Am I alone in thinking that Lalor and Smillie would actually be a pretty bad haul for pick 1 and 6? Lalor is obviously incredibly talented and could definitely be the best player in the draft, but he was ranked more in the 6-10 range when his season ended and has rocketed up the consensus rankings once it became known that the Tigers were going to pick him. Not to mention he has had some terrible injuries. I like the pick and rate the player but I think hes a little on the risky side.
I personally don't really rate Smillie either, and I don't think there are too many list managers who would take him at 6. Especially if one of Smith/FOS/Draper slides.

At this stage seems none of those are sliding to tigers second pick
But yes agree Lalor and Smillie I’m not sure if that’s a good combo
The alternative though is they go for Tauru or another KPP

Smillie has more upside than any top 10 player purely because of his height. Eg. 2013 draft Bonts and Cripps.
Nit picking too much you'll find a way to go off them.
As for him and Lalor not being a good combo. I'll try not being rude. But is this like KFC when chips go with coke kinda thing? I'm very sure Richmond can fit any type of player in and best available, and not being pick with picks 1 and 6 is the way. They have 6 picks after potentially to correct that.
