Below is the worst case for our pick 7 if everyone above us goes for the most highly-rated midfielder available. Just ignored Daicos & Darcy and matched bids.
Pick 1 - JHF to North
Pick 2 - Callahan to GWS
Pick 3 - Ward to GC
Pick 4 - Erasmus to Adelaide
Pick 5 - Hobbs to Hawthorn
Pick 6 - Goater to Freo (Carlton's pick)
Pick 7 - TIGERS - Rachele, Gibcus, Sinn, Johnson, Wanganeen-Milera
Gibcus, Mac Andrew & Jye Amiss are "wildcards" and any of them could go before our pick, meaning possibility of Erasmus or Hobbs being available at our first pick.
What is the difference between a pick 7 player and Ward worth to us?
Is Ward worth trading 7 & 15 for? eg Is he worth more than both Matt Johnson & Matt Roberts together?
Regardless, I wouldn't offer too much for an upgrade to anything other than pick 2 or 3. Not paying overs for the chance that Ward slips to pick 4.
