How do you know that our recruiters rate him top 3.Sure they do. But Curtin isnt rated top 3 by anyone other than North. If they want to reach go for it. So in effect pick 2 is not the pick they should be using on a KP defender.
And maybe that compelling offer for pick 1 comes along and makes it happen.
But no way they hand over the #1 ranked kid for Curtin and a 2nd round ranked player.
They trade Thomas to Essendon for their 1st ( picks may be added) North could have picks 2, 3, 8 and 16. A few combo's there to make a compelling offer.
