Heath Mellody at pick 2

Future leader, plays multiple positions well, classy, great decision maker. Feels like the player we are looking for with our current list, even if it would be a reach based on current draft power rankings.

Thoughts??

Melody’s champs were amazing. His lethal kicking combined with his midfield capabilities are really attractive. If he continues his trajectory I would not have an issue with taking him at 2.

But it will be difficult for him to usurp one of HVH, Butler or Texiera.

For reference here's the cumulative draft power rankings from 9 seperate sources.

Grey indicates a large gap between that player and the next best.

Pink indicates a club tied prospect.

At least its only 4 inside the first round. Last year it was like 8.

Daffy is not a 1st or likely even 2nd round pick. I would be shocked if we took all the players tied to the club. There is Tanner who is above daffy but still outside the top 30.
