Petracca was pick 2 behind McCartin at pick 1 and Heeney was pick 18 and the reason the system was changed.
Heeney was bid at pick 2 and once it was matched, Petracca was selected on that spot. Didn't break Petracca's heart that he was "second choice" behind Heeney, which is what I'm referring to in my reply.
One of the dumb ideas getting peddled away here is if Adelaide bids on Jamarra, whoever gets picked after that bid match will feel like second choice. It is just a weak, lazy notion to say being rated the pick 2 in an open draft is a terrible outcome.
