19 for Eagles future first

then 1 pick later

Eagles future first back to west coast for pick 20

We move up a spot in return for helping GWS out...
GWS can't because they don't have future second to allow them to trade future first back . The stupid rule still apply.
 
But given limited list spots we would essentially be forgoing pick 24 and 29

So if the trade was 8 + 16 + 21 for 3 we would end up with
Pick 2, 6, 8, 16, 21 - (24+29 we wouldn't use.. could trade for future seconds potentially)

instead of

2,3,6,24,29

Essentially Caldwell + 16 + 21
vs. Rankine + 24 + 29

I'd prefer Rankine.
Reckon you're in a much better position to spread your risk across the high picks you've accumulated than to overpay to move up and put all your eggs in one basket.
All the analyses I've seen (admittedly only two or three, and they're a few years old now) highlight that the talent drop off is much less steep than the dropoff in the perceived value of the pick, so you pay a heap to move up and don't improve your lot.
And there's also often overconfidence amongst the talent raters who think they're much better at identifying that one bloke who'll change a team's fortunes than they are bases on their track records.
If others are keen to throw stuff at you, trading down (as long as you're spreading it across years / not grabbing too many lower picks you can't use due to limited spots to fill) and taking advantage of other teams who are looking to move up works better on the whole.
My 2c for what it's worth.

I think going for 2,6,8,13,21 only risk Contract extension .
All 5 add together could be a big problem and could end up selling them cheap like GWS due to salary cap .
Spreading contract extension between
2018 - 2,3,6 and 2019 - 2 first round are more easy to manage .
 
It would fit the script that apparently they have wanted him from a very long way out. It is also no coincidence that they have 3 x 1st round picks this year and I have no doubt they would sacrifice a few of them to get Lukosius. I wonder if 8 + 16 + 21 for 2 + 29 (or maybe 24) might be around the mark. Alternatively, 8 + 13 + 21 for 2 + 24 + 29...
LOL

He would know best! Has the points on the board..

Not for recent first round picks unfortunately. Lang (bust), Thurlow (bust), Cockatoo (has the talent but can never get on the park) hasn’t been great.

I miss the days of Mackie, J. Selwood, Taylor, Bartel, etc.

Wells seems to be fantastic from 20 onwards though so I’m excited to see who he gets with 51 (assuming with 50 he gets Brownless).

You might have missed the sarcasm there
