We're not getting a second rounder for Newton. Players who tear up the state comp but haven't shown anything at AFL level don't carry trade currency that reflects their potential. It is the downside of not getting games into them when they deserve it. His original draft projections are meaningless.
Comparable trades are the ones we arranged for Campbell Heath and Lewis Stevenson, both for picks in the 80s. Newton would garner slightly better, but certainly not in the 20s or 30s. We got Brad Ebert for pick 28 FFS.
