Posted something along these lines up the other day;
Currently have picks 25, 43, 61 and 79.
My bet is Collingwood will aim to take in 1 - 2 picks before they expect a bid on Daicos & Brown. Personally I think that will be around pick 25 onwards and I think Daicos will get hit first FWIW.
Given Lions & Suns interest in Witts I would be aiming to get one of the picks the Suns land through their O'Meara deal. I reckon it will be the Hawks pick 14 that we might ultimately get and then hand back # 43. People will laugh at that but go and have a look at historic deals for ruck men like Jacobs, Longger and Hickey.
That now gives us 14, 25, 47, 61 and 79
I think Frost will be moved on and I suspect Lions will land him for a pick around 40 which they source from somewhere. They have 47 but i suspect Collingwood will see that as to low. The deals in previous years around Hampson, White, West, Panful, S.Frost, Jenkins, Renouf, Lynch who were all comparable to him at the same stage were all done in the early 30's so I would think a pick around 40 about right.
In respect to Cloke I can't see Collingwood accepting a 4th round selection so I think the pick 33 now comes in to play if they don't agree a player swap of Dale or Hrovat. I could see Collingwood taking pick 33 and handing back pick 61.
Oxley I think will move on and I suspect a pick around 55 would see him done.
That would leave us with 14, 25, 33, 40, 55, 61 and 79.
From their I think Collingwood will do one of two things. They will try and use those first 3-4 trades to get higher or take a view that its an even draft and just use those picks.
If they trade up I think the two clubs up the order who would be open are Port and North. So I would put on the table 14 and 40 and see if you could get to their 9 or 11 respectively. Saints may be another. If they want Steele and think #10 is to much and given don't have a 2nd round then our 25 and 33 may be pretty handy too them. Maybe they would take that deal and then hand over 14 to GWS.
Going to be interesting. We could end up getting quite a bit higher in this draft yet.
