Edit: I've now updated to greater reflect who I think they will select rather than who they should, taking into account recent media speculation. I've also added a Pre-Season and Rookie draft.
I don't get to see much junior football but I've read a fair bit about this crop from various sources and this is what I came up with. This is my first one so feedback is encouraged, any blatant mistakes? Skip to bottom to see your club's selections.
Round 1
1 GWS Lachlan Whitfield
Elite runner with good skills, a unanimous choice as #1
2 GWS Jimmy Toumpas
If they stick to their word about taking best available they should take Toumpas.
3 GWS Lachlan Plowman
Not 3rd best, but word is pretty strong they like him here. Maybe they do rate him 3rd best but he suits their needs anyway. O'Rourke and Menzel also in the mix.
4 Melbourne Oliver Wines
Need to find more ball-winners and Wines can do just that. Will form an impressive combination with his mate Viney.
5 Western Bulldogs Jonathan O'Rourke
The bulldogs will basically take whoever the Giants don't. His class will compliment their midfield grunt.
6 Western Bulldogs Troy Menzel
Initially thought to slide, it seems his knee is no longer an issue. More class and importantly for the bulldogs another avenue to goal. Stringer an outside chance here.
7 Port Adelaide Brodie Grundy
Too good to pass up here, especially as a local lad. Lobbe and Redden are promising but Grundy is a sure bet. Mayes also a chance.
8 Brisbane Kristian Jaksch
Will allow Merret to return to defense and has the ominous task of replacing Brown long-term. Macrae also a chance.
9 Richmond Nick Vlastuin
Tigers seem to like him, has that hardness that Hardwick loves.
10 Essendon Joe Daniher
Father-son pick.
11 Carlton Jackson Macrae
Probably would've liked Jaksch but instead went for best available.
12 GWS Sam Mayes
Best available and gives them something different rather than a pure mid.
13 Gold Coast Josh Simpson
A Scott Clayton special, word is pretty strong on this one. Lonergan also a chance.
14 GWS Aidan Corr
Far from best available but defense is their weak spot if there is one. Seems to have shot ahead of Clurey.
15 North Melbourne Ben Kennedy
Lacking in smalls with recent departures and Harvey coming to the end.
16 Geelong Jake Stringer
Often get the best slider and they have liked him for a while.
17 Fremantle Jessie Lonergan
Need KPP's but best available for now.
18 Collingwood Nathan Hrovat
The pies learnt through Blair that height isn't an issue and will be keen to draft players that can perform from day one.
19 Collingwood Taylor Garner
Exciting half forward.
20 Adelaide Tim O'Brien
Was looking for a defender but O'Brien is better value here as a local boy who can play the Tippett role.
21 Collingwood Tim Membrey
Could be used forward providing competition with Paine or perhaps as a long term successor to Luke Ball.
22 Western Bulldogs Sam Colqhoun
Continuing their need for good ball users Colquhoun is the perfect replacement for Bob Murphy.
23 Sydney Nicholas Graham
Strong contested midfielder seems to fit the Sydney philosophy.
Round 2
24 Brisbane Nathan Wright
Speedy half back flanker.
25 St.Kilda Tom Clurey
Saints will be stoked to get Clurey as the KPD they've desperately wanted.
26 St.Kilda Dayle Garlett
Whispers are his off-field issues are worse than anticipated and St.Kilda are one of only a few to show interest.
27 Melbourne Jack Viney
Father-son pick.
28 GWS Jackson Thurlow
Tazwegian made me do it. Could do with a small forward but none are worth it here. Again gives them something different to their plethora of mids.
29 Hawthorn Tanner Smith
Have lost Gilham and Murphy. Lake and Gibson won't be around forever.
30 Port Adelaide Mason Wood
Could play as a third tall or an Isaac Smith type wingman.
31 Port Adelaide Tim Broomhead
Versatile SA boy.
32 Richmond Liam McBean
Flexible athletic tall that can play either end as well as pinch hit in the ruck.
33 Brisbane Dean Towers
After the success of Zorko won't be shy to take another speedy mature-ager to add depth to their midfield.
34 Richmond Adam Carter
A small defender with good skills capable of taking Chris Newman's role.
35 Essendon Ben Jacobs
Are supposedly keen to spoil North Melbourne's party.
36 Carlton Mason Shaw
Very happy to see Shaw slide to them after missing out on Jaksch.
37 Fremantle Kamdyn McIntosh
Disappointed not to get Shaw but happy to take a local KPD to replace McPharlin.
38 North Melbourne Jack Hannath
After missing out on Jacobs, their second priority is to add to their suddenly thin ruck stocks.
39 Collingwood Andrew Boston
Best available. Pies need a ruckman but will look to the PSD or delisted free agency to solve that.
40 Fremantle Brant Colledge
Finally look to secure a local KPF.
41 St.Kilda Nick Rodda
Another KPD should ensure the Saints defense is healthy for years to come.
42 North Melbourne Rory Atkins
Best available.
43 Richmond Jason Pongracic
Another mid/fwd Hardwick type.
44 St.Kilda Samuel Lowrie
Need some quality mids too.
45 Sydney Spencer White
Can afford to take the punt on him hoping to form a dangerous combination with Sam Reid.
Round 3
46 West Coast Harry Marsh
Need a KPD if they lose both Glass and Brown.
47 Sydney Jarrod Lienert
Tallish defender for post Grundy & Richards.
48 North Melbourne Marco Paparone
Petrie is getting on and though a different style of forward could be his replacement.
49 Melbourne Daniel Currie
I don't rate any of their young rucks, they need capable back up if Jamar goes down.
50 Western Bulldogs Lachie Hunter
Father-son pick.
51 Western Bulldogs Michael Close
Key defender with ability to go forward.
52 Essendon Dean Kent
Desperately need inside mids to help Jobe Watson.
53 Melbourne Anthony Tipungwuti
Need some flair and skill to go with the grunt they've picked up.
54 Adelaide Nick Joyce
Adelaide taking no chances here and will make sure Joyce stays put.
55 Essendon Tom Temay
Disciplined small defender to play McVeigh's role.
56 Carlton Brodie Murdoch
Another forward but more of a third tall.
57 Gold Coast Sam Lonergan
Have indicated they're after more experience and need inside mids.
58 North Melbourne Taylor Hine
North add another youngster with potential.
59 Gold Coast Kyal Horsley
Rookie Ugrade.
60 Gold Coast Clay Cameron
Zone Selection.
61 West Coast Marvin Warrell
Leon Davis clone also from WA.
62 West Coast Sean Lynch
Unfashionable but can find and deliver the ball off half back.
63 North Melbourne Cameron Banfield
Versatile defender.
64 Adelaide Ian Callinan
Rookie Upgrade.
65 GWS Nick Lower
Apparently aren't going to use this pick though I'm not sure why as that will give them 2 free spots. Perhaps there is another free agent they have their eyes on. In any case Lower was very unlucky to be cut and will take some heat off their young mids.
66 Sydney Sam Siggins
Further bolstering their back stocks.
67 Sydney Matthew McDonough
Small but strong forward who finds the goals time and time again.
Round 4
68 Hawthorn Leigh Osborne
Yep 2 Osbornes. Perfect fit for Hawthorn and Clarkson's penchant for left footers.
69 GWS
Pass.
70 Melbourne Shane Nelson
Speedy midfielder.
71 Carlton
Pass. I think the blues might run with just the 38 players next year in order to allow Bell and Curnow to play without hassle.
72 Hawthorn Michael Osborne
Only having 3 picks means they must re-draft Osborne here.
73 Melbourne Daniel Nicholson
Rookie Upgrade.
74 Melbourne Michael Evans
Rookie upgrade.
75 Essendon Jacob Ballard
Hard running midfielder/defender.
76 Carlton
Pass.
77 St.Kilda

87 Brisbane Jack Crisp

104 Sydney
Pass.
Round 7
105 Western Bulldogs Jason Johannisen

106 Essendon Mark Baguley
Rookie upgrade.
107 Sydney Harry Cunningham
Rookie upgrade.
Delisted Free Agency
Richmond Cameron Wood
With 2 spots vacant Wood may get his 3rd chance as Coburg's #1
Collingwood Mark Seaby
Not sure this is likely to happen but they are leaving a spot free and must be planning on bringing in a ruckman.
Pre-Season Draft
1 GWS Tippett
If they can afford him they'll take him. At the very least will be worth it for the publicity and trade value alone.
2 Port Adelaide Liam Jurrah
These are the sorts of risks you can afford to take in the PSD.
3 Richmond Josh Toy
Showed too much as a junior not to be given a second chance closer to home.
4 Carlton
Pass.
5 St.Kilda Dylan Roberton
Has some potential, a good pick up for the Saints.
6 Sydney Ricky Petterd
Disappointed to miss out on Tippett but turn their attention to finding more hidden treasure as is the Sydney way.
