What most people forget in this trade is that last year's draft was far superior to the talent in this year's pool. Just look at Bailey Smith this season and how he has competed at pick 7. I watched him stiff arm Paddy Dow on the weekend (a former pick 3) and run away from him comfortably.
A player at Stocker's rating (10-20) last year would be a top ten selection this year and most years.
So if we rated Stocker top ten in last year's draft internally then I can't see how it's possible we lose this trade.
I'm sleeping easy.

We have been very clear that Stocker was #6 on our board. The boy is going to be a ripper.
I'm tipping the pick differential is no greater than 4 spots. It's entirely possible that Crows finish below us. Don't get sucked in to the media, there won't be a circumstance where this move is a bad one
