It doesn't matter what i think it matters what people who watched these kids in the U18's etc thought.
I remember some talk pre-draft abouth those kids.....which i just searched for from knightmare...

We got him at pick 34. Potential top round pick, we got at 34.
[quote]#47 (Richmond) - Luke Mitchell (VIC)
Height: 198cm, Weight: 96kg, DOB: 28/2/1992
Recruited from: Calder Cannons
Style: Jonathan Brown
Range: 26-late[
Why: Very strong overhead as well as on the lead. Powerfully built so maybe some questions on upside. Kicking can be a little off but once he gets it going can kick allot of goals. Missed the start of the season due to injury and came back mid way through to have some very strong games including a very strong TAC Cup Grand Final for the second year in a row which I’m sure will reflect favourably! Some think he might still go 1st round or very close to it but I think his draft range is a little more open than that. /quote]
We got him at 42.
We got 3 potentially 1st round KPPs.
The year after missing out on Talia for Lucas.
We were over the moon.

Not on draft day.
I'm basing this on watching people play football.
Not on pre draft write ups.
None of these guys looked like they belonged in an AFL jumper and it showed on game day (Watson showed glimpses sporadically) but none of them showed the sort of form to even get noticed.
You're better off referencing troy menzel.
He showed more ability than most drafted before him.
