Who needs early picks???

[kenny_lingers]

It's draft time so I thought it might be interesting to look at history of drafted players. So i made up 2 teams one of players selected in first round (i.e. 1-16) and a second team made up of every player which were at least the second choice of every team.
The position the player was drafted is numbered before his name.
Who do u think would win-: Ateam or B team?
My apologies to Anthony Banik, Carl Dilena and Jody Arnol couldn't fit these guys into the A team.
And to Eric Lissenden, Peter Melesso and 3 wonderful irish lads.. Dermott Mc Dermott, Colin Corkery & Colum McManamon sorry just couldn't squeeze u into the B team.

Dont worry about it KL, its very well documented how many fotballers who are overlooked early in the draft, turn out to be champions.
We are all very aware of this, however it was very good to go and research that team, dont know about putting Robran Half-Foward infront of Grant, probably better of moving Grant to CHF, Hay to CHB, Solomon to BP and Robran to Int.

Sure, many players outside the top 16 turn out to be greats, but the top 16 have 16 picks, after that it is like 90 pics so there are more duds as well. Thats what i think.
