Our recruiters to the 2023 national draft

Richmond is at least being consistent in this years draft - the only club to be rated C- !

I have always viewed the rating like this. If you have an early pick or choose a player that's been spoken about you get rated well.
Look no further than the 2021 draft, we had 5 picks in the top 30. Rated A+

How on earth does freo "rated B-" and port C+ rate higher than us.
Who's to say that Freo's Cooper Simpson (35) and Ollie Murphy (41) or Ports Thomas Anastasopoulous (48) & Lachlan Charleson (52) are going to be better than Richmonds Kane McAuliffe (40) and Liam Fawcett (43)

We drafted 2 players for needs but also added two future 3rds and a 4th in 2024. That in itself should have gotten us a rating of B

RICHMOND

Picks (at the start of draft):
7, 15, 26, 27, 28, 79

Selections: Josh Gibcus (9), Tom Brown (17), Tyler Sonsie (28), Sam Banks (29), Judson Clarke (30)

The Tigers nailed a terrific spread of player types with their juicy draft hand. They used their two first-round picks to address their defensive stocks, with Gibcus and Brown both strong intercept players. Although the Tigers could use Gibcus as a forward next year — a prospect some recruiters believe would work well. Sonsie could be anything. On talent alone, the midfielder was arguably a top-five talent in this year’s draft class, but slid due to a lack of continuity in a Covid-interrupted season. If it clicks for him at the Tigers though, he could be a genuine AFL star. Banks gives the Tigers great dash and versatility, while Clarke is a typical Tigers draftee: A small forward that can apply pressure and play a role. Although Clarke has ample tricks and an innate, mercurial goal nous. Big ticks for the Tigers.

Grade: A+
