You do have another pick very soon, so you may get your wish with regards to adding another midfielder.

If we limited ourselves to Lions supporters I don't think we'd be able to field a team

Chris Fagan has said that we will be targeting mids with our first 3 draft picks so I can't see us taking Aaron Naughton Quigley . Although like you we may have him too highly rated to knock back.
I'm certainly not as knowledgeable as you but IMO we are more likely to go a mid, still on the board eg. Zac Bailey, Lachlan Fogarty, Lochie O'Brien.

I'd be shocked if any club is a ridged as saying they will only select a certain type of player with x number of picks.

Pick 16 - Western Bulldogs - Nathan Murphy (188.3cm, 79.9kg - DOB: 15/12/1999 - Medium Utility)
Bio: Murphy is a versatile flanker that boasts strong endurance traits, overhead marking and a long penetrating and classy right foot kick. Having a late December birthday and having not fully focused on AFL until late in his junior career means that there is plenty of growth left in his game and so taking the punt on him at this selection is quite justified as I see some elite traits that Murphy has at his disposal that will translate well into the AFL given he has enough time to learn some of the running patterns and such as he does on occasion look lost not knowing where to run. Murphy also needs to work on his speed as at the moment he is rather slow compared to others in who play his position.
Why the Dogs? - the Dogs need some extra marking and class across our half forward line and at this pick I feel as though Murphy was the best player left to fill this role. I had considered him at 9 so for him to fall through to pick 16 was a nice surprise for me.
Others - I had a hard time going past Ed Richards due to everything that he does suiting the Dogs and I had to consider other forwards like Lachlan Fogarty and Oscar Allen I just felt that Nathan Murphy had the best scope from the very little I've seen of him.
On draft day proper I don't expect Dalrymple will have the luxury of being able to pick Murphy up here. I expect that the Dogs will go with Ed Richards, Zac Bailey or Lachlan Fogarty.

Would be happy with him as a cheap late pick.

Given how rucks tend to work out, I figure the best strategy is to rookie one every year....You only need one every 5 or 6 years, which is about the usual 'hit rate' for such picks anyway.

Pick 17 - Richmond
Oscar Allen
191.1cm | 82.35kg
Key Position Forward
West Perth/Western Australia
Stats:
U18 Champs: Av. 15.5 disposals, 6 marks and booted 11 goals
WAFL League: Av. 8.5 disposals, 5 marks
WAFL Reserves: Av. 13.5 disposals, 10 hitouts, 5 marks
WAFL Colts: Av. 19.3 disposals, 7.6 marks, 3.8 tackles and 0.9 goals
Testing (average in brackets):
Vertical jump: 67cm (64cm)
Running vertical jump (right): 79cm (75cm)
Running vertical jump (left): 88cm (80cm)
20m: 3.07s (3.1s)
Agility: 8.27s (8.5s)
Yo-Yo: 21.2 (21.0)
2km: Did Not Test
Kicking test: 25/30 (25)
Goal kicking test: 3.2 (3.0)
Athletic key forward Oscar Allen is a nobrainer for Richmond, but is a player that I think could well be snapped up by the West Coast Eagles at Pick 13.
Allen won the Larke Medal as the best player in the NAB AFL Under 18 Championships, averaging 15 disposals, six marks and booting 11 goals. The WA Co-captain also was runner-up in the WAFL Colts best & fairest back in 2016, also named in the Team of the Year at Centre Half Forward in 2016.
Allen's strengths are his leap, marking and mobility up forward. His leap makes him appealing to clubs, as he has shown at West Perth level he is capable of playing at both ends and in the ruck. While at 191cm - he won't be a ruckman, it shows he can provide a "chop out" inside 50 if required. At 191cm some will suggest just how is he a key forward, but he uses his strength and body well up forward and his leap gives him a few extra centimetres on him. His endurance is pretty good and his agility means he is mobile at ground level, unlike some others forwards in the draft pool. His agility time was in the top 10 at the combine.
What he can improve on is his set shot kicking, on Grand Final day he could've kicked 5 goals and it's a reason his goal kicking average is down on some other key forwards.
I think he can slot in to Richmond's forward line well alongside Jack Riewoldt.

Great. WC can poach him after two seasons.

I have read several things with him saying how much of a Collingwood fan he is so it would be very easy to see them coming knocking. With that said we face that issue no matter who we draft here if they are half decent and from the outside I can't really assess how much of a flight risk he is. I just went for the best available with the pick. I like Payne as well and see no reason why both of those guys together would not work very well together. Payne more the power full back option and Naughton the mobile CHB.

The flip side is, why would Naughton show loyalty to a team that had the opportunity to take him and didn't? Defence may not be our greatest need, but I'm not going to sneeze at a potentially elite defender if he's rated far higher than any available midfielder. A suffocating defence is a nice thing to have.
Also, please write in sentences, it'd be a lot nicer to read.
Something was happening there with the updates. Showing some posts and not others and picks 16 and 17 were not showing.
Anyway give me a half hour to write something.

I know this is going to sound like a troll but it is not. Nathan Murphy, has anyone actually seen him play a good game of football? Each time I have watched him (which lets face it is not as much as I would like) he looks like he could rip a game apart but by the end of each game I am left think yep but you actually did not do very much.
