I seen a highlight package of Pickett and was really impressed by the kid and how he moves. Reminded me a lot of Brad Hill.
Now I will admit, I don't know much about this Draft, but I see the need for mids more important at the present. Yes we have an aging defense, but we probably still have one of the best going around in the afl at the moment, and could really hang around for another 1-2 years at the very least. This would allow us to develop our young prospects and see if they will be up to filling the holes once called up.
I believe our biggest issues are forward 50 and midfield pressure.
The ball bounces out of the 50 too fast and easy too easy, and we offer too much space in the midfield. When these issues are combated our defense holds up greatly. But when we fold in these areas and the ball is coming in hard and fast, that's when our back 6 gets exposed. Which really would happen to any defensive unit in the league.
I'd much rather pick up a quality mid this Draft (Pickett for mine) and focus on a KPD for the 2016 pool.
As I've said, I'm not too familiar with the talent on offer, but this is just my opinion based on what I believe we need and from what I've read
