I think the play will be to trade both and to match with 40,46, 53 & 54. Then use the draft capital we’ve raised with 28 & 31 to trade back into the draft in the 20’s and 30’s.

That’s what I am hoping too

I have no idea how this all works, do we have to wait for someone to pick Kako and we match with relevant picks? What if no one picks him before our first pick?

Extremely unlikely, others want to ‘keep us honest’ and ensure we pay his worth. It’s also in their interests as it will chew up a few of our picks and bring their own picks in a bit later in the draft. But if that did happen we would simply select someone else and wait till someone did bid on him.

Okay that makes sense, thanks for clarifying

From what I’ve read you’re correct. We have traded in enough picks to match if a bid comes early. If he’s not bid on then we choose who we need. Jono Walsh probably can give a definite answer tho

Need an insurance pick for Nguyen but I reckon you are spot on. Move out 1 or both 2nd rounders. They have capital.
