5 way Deal Reported on SEN re Ottens

[Wrenny]

I think richmond really have their eye on someone with their third selection and this is why they are so desperate to get another top 10 pick.

His name is jordan lewis. He will go top 10. Miller wants him. He is what richmond needs.

So it's not that Ottens is worth a top 10, they are using that as an excuse to get even more top 10 picks? If they want a certain kid so much, us pick 1 or 4 on him. And who's to say one of the other teams won't take him.

I've heard this a lot as well Wrenny, although one of those 3 rucks would be good as well, hopefully one would be available by 16.

We believe Ottens is worth a top ten pick (plus another 1st round) given that it is what we believe we can get in return for him. It is a best case scenario, not necessarily what we expect to end up with (you always ask for more than you want in a negotiation). The fact that there is a pick 6-10 player that we very much want as well is not what is driving our asking price for Ottens.
