Those types you want to pick up in the third round or as rookies like Ed Curnow, you don't want to be trading good draft picks for them.
Why we were interested in Lang I have no idea.
If you revisit that swap you quickly find out he actually didn't cost us much in terms of a trade.
Which tells you a little bit about what we thought we were getting. We swapped pick 28 for him.
Perhaps we are being unrealistic. Sam Docherty looked a bit average in his first season with us too, but a year later he really improved. Let's hope this happens again (Kennedy was more surplus to requirements than Docherty was).
