Luckily we have TWO firsts next year, one of which will be worse than the other.
The whole point of having 2 first next year is because the SA talent and talent in general is stacked next year.

It would be really stupid to be giving that up.

Surely if we didn't think he was worth 2x firsts last year then he's not worth it this year? Admittedly we have more of them to throw around this year, but if we're giving up 10 or either of next year's firsts then I won't be happy with it. 16 plus next year's second or 18 from Cameron (if Cameron even ends up getting traded) I'd settle for.

The talk is a first this year and a second next year ... let's see what is done before we shoot anyone.

If it was this year's first and a swap of our first for their second next year - that is not a huge drop. We are probably hoping to bundle our picks next year and see if we can nail Rankine. Having pick 17 instead of pick 20 won't change that much.

From all reports we wouldn't have access to those guys, even with 2 1sts.
But if we have 2 1sts (and possibly another one if Sloane goes and we get a 1st as compensation), there is the possibility of packaging those up to trade our way higher into the draft. Not to mention the possibility that we and/or Melbourne sh*t the bed next year...

Teams aren't going to be super keen to give up a top 5 pick for potentially two picks that are 14-18.
