I think you are confused. Either that or I am.
In the old draft system the clubs were required to say eg “pick 77 rookie upgrade: Greenwood.”
Now that is organised beforehand and the two draft picks are removed from the draft board, but the rookie upgrades still happen, in the same way.
In other words, you have 4 picks, but 2 have already been allocated to rookie upgrades, so a Phantom draft needs only mention 2.
Adelaide had 39 on the list this year
less
7 off Thompson, Menzel, Ellis-Yolmen, Gore (delisted or retired) Lever, Cameron, Wigg (traded)
plus
2 in Gibbs, Gibson
2 rookie upgrades Greenwood & Keath
= 36 currently listed
= 4 draft picks (although it is expected pick 108 will be passed and will go in 2018 with 39 again)
