#15 before academy picks is definitely unders. Would end up closer to #20.
Adding pick #30ish in next years draft - again before academy picks - doesn’t seem enough to bridge the gap.
Potential Trade
B.Smith, #32 and F3 for #15 and F1.
Would value Smith at around pick 8-12.
...Graham to FA and just use the late pics to fatten our hand ?
#2 - Richmond
#8 - Gold Coast
#10 - Brisbane or #15 - Carlton
#22 - Richmond
#30ish - Richmond
This is a deep draft. Imagine keeping all our A grade talent and having 2 top 10 picks a pick between 10&15 say and another two inside...
Gresham & Doedee end of first round compo picks.
I'll guess that Sav's contract offer from Port is more ($$$ + years) than what those above players are getting from Bris/Dons.
I have no issue thinking we are well within our rights pushing for more than #25 for Sav.
#25 could push out past #30...
Okay, let me give a draft for us a shot...
#30ish - Coby Burgiel (183cm, 80kg mid/forward from VC)
The first pick might be the hardest to guess, because we'll obviously be hoping for someone we rate first round to slip - someone like a Charlie Clarke or Darcy Jones would be my ideal scenario...
Those guys were drafted over six years.

Hindsight is beautiful, after 2018 we should have hit the draft...
