Here's MASON
So, the number 1 draft pick has never(?) been the best player in a draft pool, however there's usually 2-3 players better, if not more. Usually two inside first round, and one absolute ripper much later.
Note: The below table is just an example, no need to take it off topic and turn it into a shit fight.
2009: #1: Tom Scully - #3 Dustin Martin, #20 Nathan Fyfe, #34 Max Gawn
2010: #1: David Swallow - #8 Dyson Heppell, #11 Tom Lynch, #42 Luke Parker
2011: #1: John Patton - #2 Stephen Coniglio, #6 Chad Wingard, #58 Lachie Neale
2012: #1: Lachie Whitfield - #6 Jake Stringer, #8 Ollie Wines, #46 Tim Membrey
2013: #1: Tom Boyd - #4 Marcus Bontempelli, #13 Patrick Cripps, #26 Zach Merrett
Call it now, who will be the best three player in the 2016 AFL draft, and why?
Be that guy that "nailed it".
I'd especially like the opinion of those who do regular mock drafts.

Format: 2 that you believe that will be taken around the top 20, followed by a late smokie outside of it.
We will assume here that pick 1 will be either McCluggage or McGrath, you may nominate who you feel that will be.
Do not include F/S or academy picks.
My picks:
2016: #1: Hugh McCluggage
1. Tim Taranto - I think this guy will be the player of the whole bunch, has some real GAJ about him, strong hips, is excellent overhead regardless, kicks goals, haven't seen many weaknesses in his game.
2. Oliver Florent - Moves well through traffic, has an exciting burst of speed, appears to be a big game player, most only rate him in the second round, would be stoked if Essendon got him there, reminds me of Hamish Hartlett but better.
3 (late smokie). Sam Powell-Pepper - Might have a hyphen in his name, but plays like it's exclamation mark. Love how he runs through people, his aggression is a beautiful thing to watch, has a bit of Byron Pickett about him, I think he will be as good also, loves a snag.
