I don't envy our recruiting staff at all, this will be a tough call and depending how the particular player they choose, develops, plays and if he re- signs, this decision will have a significant impact on the way we (as supporters) veiw the outcome of this draft.
The number 1 pick holds greater significance, in terms of success or failure, as we have all the talent available to us and the ability to select the best one. The pressure increases again, when there is no clear outstanding prospect. This is one of the particular reasons why I would have loved to see the club trade this pick, however it was not to be.
Having noted the obvious negative aspects of having the number 1 pick, I am keen to acknowledge the exciting possibilities that present our fabulous club, in selecting first and the ultimate joy of watching the highly skilled youngster fulfill his potential in our great jumper for a long time to come.
With that said I had originally voted for rayner, but now see the benefit in picking brayshaw, as he offers our club a level of safety in his abilities and quality in skill level. There is no point in me debating the go home factor as most of the prestigious talent will come from interstate in the now and near future, so there is little point worrying about what may come in 2 years. Brayshaw fits a need, skill level and talent level
