I'd be happy if Eddie Ford made it to pick 31.
I'd say we must be targeting someone, but if so is there any need to do this now rather than on draft night?

Smart swap, if targets are in view.
Not even sure we'll need next years third.
Just don't see us needing quantity from here on in.........only quality.
Well done Austin. Very happy wth this move.

We may still bundle 31 & 38 and target a late teen pick

Points don't really apply to.us since we have no decent Academy prospects on the horizon 
so it's a good deal for us.

Can see us attempting to live trade further up the order on draft night

The two clubs I see as most likely to be willing to trade down for our picks 31 & 38 would be Richmond at 17 and St Kilda at 21.
If that didn't happen and we got really lucky with a preferred player sliding, Hawthorn at 24, Brisbane at 25 or the Bulldogs at 26 could be feasible, as they could each chuck in a pick in the 40s/50s too.

I suspect we have another swap happening.
It makes very little sense doing this for someone who may slide on the night - You would be far better off waiting to see if that player does slide, then having it pre-planned and ready to go (the obvious curve ball here is if you think Sydney are the main competition for said slider).
More than likely we have a swap lined up, and needed additional points to pull it off.

Doubt we'd be trading now if we wanted a specific player at 31, wouldn't surprise me to see us bundle 31 and 38 up to get back into the late first round/early second on draft night if there's a player we really like there.
maybe a key defender we want to trade into the teens

31 + 38 up for a single pick makes sense to me. KPD DFA or mature ager late. Kennedy in the rookie draft and save a spot for next February or the mid season draft for a Vic kid.
We may also have intentions of bidding on both *'s KPD boys, that would also be a good move

Watched him many times live and yes he kept going hence diesel I cannot name a player who comes close to this triple Brownlow medalist yes he was robbed maybe R Harvey to a lesser extent but
Just pointing out that these type of footballers are not the norm these days hope I’m wrong

Don’t know much about them but would prefer a ready made body over a kid if we are taking a KPD. McDonald my preference at this stage.
Most likely suitors if we are to bundle them up would be the Lemons who have picks 18 + 19.
Cannot see Tigers giving up 17 or the Pies 16 which would cover the top end of the points value of the picks.

We can do both
Might be GWS, not sure they will use all their 5 picks before ours
Not really.
Swans to need to trade picks prior to their Academy players being bid on in teens.
So we’d have to do a deal by pick 15 - when we still don’t know who is sliding to 31.
I think it’s a good move to position ourselves early.

I’d like to see us take a pure small forward and a KPD, as well as leave a spot open for next year. We have promised to pick up Kennedy. We may also be looking at some ruck depth if TDK needs to play predominantly forward.
2 KPDs is overkill at this stage.
Knightmare's AFL Draft Power Rankings: April
ESPN's AFL draft expert Christopher Doerre unveils his list of the 20 best prospects in his monthly power rankings.
This was Knightmares top 20 power rankings in April of 2017. Makes for some interesting reading.
This really is a draft where no-one really knows who may yet be the best of the crop. The more astute recruiters will pluck gold from bronze. Maybe us?
