It doesn't make too much sense that a back pocket / half back flanker is worth a pick 9 in the draft. Someone is over-inflating IMO.

Ed Richards was picked at 16 and they seem fairly similar players.

A "back pocket" can often play wing and forward as Ed has done this year.

The rankings at this stage can largely be ignored though. They're just one individual's guesses. Just prior to the draft is when club intentions become clearer and the predictions always change dramatically.

Still, it's great that we have a clearly talented player, of a type we really need, coming through. Not having Richards might hurt a little less.

McGrath went to Essendon at pick 1.

The smart clubs will " always " pick next best during the first round or two, then they tend to select on a needs basis.
The reasoning is simple. You can always find a spot for a good footballer.

Was McGrath a backpocket in his pre-draft days?

Your reasoning here seems not just simple but spot on.

The hope is that he is a first round talent, but is bid on after our first pick. Means we get two first rounders.

Could soften the blow if we end up dropping to the bottom half of the 8 or out of it.

Unfortunately, you'd think if his value was close to our first pick someone would bid just to prevent this scenario.

Yes, Callum Twomey has just included him (Kelly) in his Top 20. He's been teetering in and out of his list this season. Twomey described him though as a likely pick in the Top 40 though in the draft on Future Champions today, so not calling him out as likely to be first round.

I thought he did well in the final NAB Champs final against Lukosius, who is touted as a Top 2 pick. Played on him for about 3 quarters and he only kicked one clever goal on the run against him. ANd the ball was up forward for SA a fair bit of the time.

Kelly has good mobility and neat skills. Knock on him would be his overhead marking at this stage I expect.

If we finish in the Top 4, Quaynor will be drafted by us late in the first round. I'd be shocked if a sub 6 foot back flanker got picked Top 10. Otherwise this is no super draft as some has touted. I note that Twomey has been watering down expectations that this is a Super draft, despite the fact he works for the AFL. Quaynor is not slow by any stretch but he doesn't have McGrath's speed and athleticism and possibly not his leadership skills either. Nor can he play (undersized) key back like Scharenberg.
