Is this draft on the verge of vaporising?

I rate the top 13. The Hately pick is where it starts going a bit pear shaped.

Top end is as elite as any, doesnt look to be a lot of depth in the draft though.. Would only be a handful of players outside the top 15 that are best 22 players.
Top 15
Walsh, Lukosius, Rankine, M.King, Rozee, B.King, Smith, Thomas, Jones, Blakey, Caldwell, Butters, Quaynor, Hately, Clark - maybe 2-3 misses? pretty good
other than the top 15
Ned McHenry - starting 22 at Adel
Xavier Duursma - starting 22 at Port
Liam Stocker - maybe starting 22 when not injured? at Carl
Riley Collier-Dawson - fringe Rich
Bobby Hill - starting 22 at GWS
James Rowbottom - starting 22 at Syd
Tom Sparrow - close to starting 22 at Melb
Will Hamill - when he isnt injured could be startig 22 at Adel?
James Jordan - close to starting 22 at Melb
Laitham Vandermeer - close to starting 22 at WB
Jack Bytel - fringe at Saints
Jack Ross - close to starting 22 at Rich?
Justin McInerney - close to starting 22 at Syd
Curtis Taylor - starting 22 at North
Bailey Scott - close to starting 22 at North
Jacob Koschitzke - close to starting 22 at Haw
Noah Answerth - fringe at Bris
Lachie Schulz - starting 22 at Frem
Lachie Scholl - starting 22 at Adel
Brayden Ham - fringe at Ess
Toby Bedford - fringe at Melb
Atu Bosenavulagi - fringe at North
Rookies
Callum Wilkie - starting 22 at Saints
Jake Aarts - starting 22 at Rich
Harry Edwards - starting 22 at WCE
Jordan Butts - close to starting 22 at Adel
maybe i missed a handful like Sam Sturt that could still become starting 22 in the near future?

Dirty Stirty and the match committee keep blue balling us on Sturt. Pretty much every Freo supporter wants to find a way to get him in the team coz he's a piece of the puzzle we need. Hopefully with us getting routed by Covid this week they get him in.
The draft is still very very good, the elite kids have just been elite for a while so no one gives them their dues but King, King and Walsh alone looks close to the best top tier picks in a draft for while.

Surely Jordon Butts starting 22? He’s a gun.

Sparrow and Jordan have been best 22 for over a year now
yea they are under-rated by most neutrals i think, when i made my list it was more to point out guys who were starting 22 or close to starting 22 long term, it basically means the same thing, but i wanted to point out that this draft bats pretty deep when it comes to starting 22 players, which was in question.

Schulz is much better than Clark IMO
I’m interested in the thoughts of neutral followers on where you’d rank James Rowbottom? In a redraft would he go in the second half of the first round?

I think he is an excellent young player.
Not sure exactly where he goes, but he can play.
Overall I think his sister is better.
I’m not sure if that is a sledge on James or Clarry (or both).

They are both good players.
McInerney is easily top 22 for Sydney and has outperformed both Blakey and Rowbottom at Sydney. I'd have him in the top 10 of the draft class. Seriously underrated

Are we including the Rookie Draft?
Wilkie/Chol and Butts have becoming solid main stayers at the moment.
Good shout out to Shultz/Answerth and Koschitzke at the back end of the draft.
Most disapointing so far would be Chayce Jones at pick 10.

Riley Collier-Dawkins another first rounder who's been disappointing. Jones is at least best 22.

Rhylee West a huge sleeper from this draft. Has been quiet until this year but starting to really break out.

Doing this one on a pretty even mixture of what we've seen so far (almost four full years in) and what I'm expecting them to do going forward. Tough list after the top few. This draft will have about 10 stars and 20 role players. From a Melbourne POV, I think Sparrow has done more and is a really good player, but Jordon probably plays his role better.
