On Demattia the 14 Disposal Avg was for the National Champs where he did time in the back pocket including a shut down role on Nick Watson.

His TAC Cup average was 19 still not huge but a better representation

As comparisons maybe Zac Jones is the floor with him and maybe Chad Warner as the ceiling. I think his speed alone makes him useful at AFL level and his kicking is decent certainly can get distance and hit targets. I actually think he is more certain to be an AFL player than Wilson or Edwards but maybe less likely to end up a permanent mid more likely a small running defender.
The Zac Jones comparison is spot on. Not much midfield nous (lack composure in tight). The question is then do you draft a back pocket with your first pick? most of the time, the answer would be no.

Except in exceptional circumstances, the future pick is worth less than a current mid first round pick.
Future first and third for current first is a deal that could happen.
Why on earth would they consider sweetening it with a second?
They might as well just give us their future second for no reason.

Clubs cannot trade out both their future 1st AND future 2nd round picks. They must hold at least one future 1st or future 2nd round pick.

We do not have a future 2nd. So if we trade out our future 1st we need to have a future 2nd coming back as part of the trade.

Hence the future 3rd acts as a buffer to help pay for that future 2nd.

Unless we do separate deals & come up with something like;

F1st to GWS for pick 8 (probably only worth doing if Sanders somehow falls & they are happy to gamble on our pick).

Pick 27 (from GC) to the Pies for their F2nd.

Take #8, #17 & #28 to the draft.

Sanders, C.Edwards & the best slider @ 28 (Hardeman, Murphy, Roberts, etc)

Collingwood traded-out their F1. They can’t also trade-out their F2.

GWS could end up trading pick 7 for West Coast’s F1 if Curtin is still on the board.

I like your thinking though.

All true and good, but no-one on the outside of the asylum is going to trade this years first and next years second for our next years first and next years third.
