I'll go a step further and add this one.
Is it possible that Stocker (rated pick 6) is better than any player in the upcoming draft?
That is pick 1 from this draft is a worse pick than Stocker.
Therefor not only did we get a better player (Stocker) than we could get this year, we got a bonus 1st round pick (Adelaide) on top of that.
Alternatively, perhaps the next draft is so relatively even that you can get an a-grade talent no matter where you pick in the first round.
Either way, looking at where our pick is vs where adelaides pick is as justification for a good/bad trade is ignoring a lot of other factors that probably carry more weight by comparison.
The experts are saying the top 2 are better than Walsh.
