What's that even mean in a practical sense? Each pick after any bid is points to be used up and when does the discount come into play? I highly doubt we traded specifically for pick 3 from WC because pick 3 is so much better than pick 4, and pick 2 so much better than 3 in turn.So are you trusting port Adelaide not to bid on a local S.A all australian kid at a pick 36 as a minimum. That pretty much means that pick 38 gets wiped out. The gain to us is that we get to pick higher meaning that only one of Lalor, FOS. Jagga and Draper are gone as opposed to 2.
We pretty much have to trade out pick 38 one way or another, having already banked the late picks that we need for any bids, rather than risk losing it for nothing. Moving up a spot might be worth more to us than a future 3rd that we would otherwise be looking at.
Any positional advantage in a draft is worthwhile but with that in mind I'd rather look to a slider or better than average project player being available with a later pick.
