Re-selecting the first round of the 2016 AFL Draft (https://www.zerohanger.com/re-selecting-the-first-round-of-the-2016-afl-draft-131437/)
Zero Hanger have redone the first round of the 2016 draft and it makes for interesting reading.
2016 Draft
Each year AFL clubs decide their list strategies and assess whether a strong draft hand is likely to yield benefits comparable to the trade assets the picks are worth.
As clubs push higher up the draft board they gain the security that they can draft the players they rate the highest before other clubs and, consequently, increase their chance of securing successful long-term recruits.
Nonetheless, this strategy is not foolproof and hindsight exposes the difficult reality of ranking the ability and potential of players before they have been introduced to an AFL environment.
In this list, the first round of the 2016 National Draft will be reassessed with the benefit of six years of AFL data.
Below is the original 2016 first round:
1 - Andrew McGrath
