I'll put it this way, his ceiling isn't as high as Smith, FOS, Langford but he's more consistent with his output than them imo. I think pick 2 is high for him personally.
i would be taking smiley langford and lalor ahead of draper

If it’s Norths F1, they could rise next year, why not take Saints this year if they’re offering?

I don’t want to wait until next year!
If it's North's (or anyone's) F1 we should make them wait to 2026 for the trade. If they want him now we should ask for picks in the current draft.
 
What about if North split pick 2 into say pick 9 and 14. They keep pick 14 and give us pick 9, along with their future first pick next year. That would work.
For us but I doubt they do that. Not sure they would even do 14 and F1.

So why would we trade him for anything less than that?

You've got a guy who will play very high level football and transform the way his new club moves the ball from HB and enters 50, for the next 6 years (minimum). Are we supposed to take our chances that pick 14 might be an equivalent player in due course?

Why should we accept that? There's no pressure on us at all here to buckle.

I would sell high on Dan if I believe the list is not good enough

North's future first seems perfect for a three way with GC who want to get more into next years draft and have R1 picks to burn this year.

North: F1 for Houston
GC: Luko,12 for NM F1
Port: Houston for Luko, 12

Some pick swaps or later picks to balance things out but that's a pretty good guts of a deal.
First feasible and fair trade exchange I can recall seeing.

? But in your earlier post you said you wanted P9 along with the F1? And then a F1 now is fair?
Either way I don’t disagree with you that I’d like more than a F1 from NM, I am just not sure we will get that.

I stated in another thread that we should turn Houston into a top 12 pick and Lukosius.

I rate Lukosius as a pick 15-20.

So pick 12 and Lukosius has similar value to me as two mid-late first round picks, which is eminently fair.

Others are suggesting we add in pick 54 or give something back to make it work which I don’t think should be at all necessary.

My desire for pick 9 and NM’s F1R would be asking for a lot more.

Is Sid Draper the best available at pick 2 or is it the SA factor?

Port may have a higher opinion of him than other clubs. I've only watched him play once and it broke my heart that I thought he would end up at the Crows.

There's no definitive best 2. I would take him over Jagga Smith personally. Draper has more hurt factor with his possessions. Jagga is the popular number 2 at present.

There's the thing. North need that mid teen pick for the kid they are after. If we want pick 2 we need to find them that mid teen pick. I'm sure we are working on it.

We are Port Buckleaide
 
That dweeb looking Cal Twomey is suggesting that Daniel Rioli will fetch Gold Coasts pick 6. A guy, who outside team success only personal accolade is 2017 Goal of the Year. Dan Houston is coming off back to back All Australians with 3 years on his contract remaining. North's Pick 2 or nothing.
 
Our F1 is a top 4 pick.

We could triple our wins and still get pick 4.

You've got a gun Ruck and a rapidly developing midfield. You could win 10 games next year and I'm not surprised.

We want in this year's top 10 because of the depth. We know we can get a player.

I'm certain we can work something out but it will involve this year's pick.
