Is a top 5 pick (for example) termed a high pick or a low pick?

Some people call it 'high' because they are the 'top' players i.e a high pick is the best you can get whereas some people call it a low draft pick because numbers 1-5 are lower (i.e. smaller) than numbers more than 5.

So ultimately, is Scully going to be a high draft pick or a low draft pick?

ALways wanted to sort this out.

 

Low draft pick.

As your talking about the actual pick, then the pick itself is a low one. If your going to say high, meaning high quality then you can't refer to draft pick, but rather the player.

I know what i'm trying to say but I think I sound crazy going on what I just wrote :lol:

Someone explain it for me. I suppose it depends on your way of thinking. The common term is high draft pick I think.

IMO an early draft pick is referred to as a high draft pick. A later pick ie 4th, 5th round picks are referred to as low picks.

ie. much like the ladder. 1st, 2nd is higher; 16th is lower.

2 posts.2 different opinions. I agree that they are called high draft picks..but technically they should be 'low'?

You would get most people saying High as it is lingo that is used by the media.

Logically/technically it is low. The draft pick/number is a low one.

Shot at goal, shot on goal, Kick at goal, long bomb, snap,.....

Alot of the recruiters refer to them as what 'round picks' ie 1st round, etc and call them high draft picks.

Fwiw, it doesn't really concern me.

I'm happy with 1,2,11,18,..,. & PSD#1.

I think 'early' and 'late' is easiest if you're speaking in relative terms.

Otherwise 'the 'round' number is handy shorthand, but there's a massive disparity between 1 and 16, 17 and 32, etc.

early or late it is. from now on if someone says high or low draft pick without elaborating im going to crack the shits

You can still use LOW or HIGH, it just needs to be qualified.

High or low ORDER, high being 1, 2, 3, etc. - an EARLY pick

High or low NUMBER, high being a LATE pick.

But LATE or EARLY are perfect in this case.

Glad we had this discussion.

Ironic that a discussion about semantics could have been arguably Freak's most worthwhile contribution to this forum so far...

I would refer to the lower numbers being 'high' draft picks.. i.e. a 'high first round' pick would be top 5 selections.

I look at them as a list going down a page, with high picks at the top and low picks at the bottom.

Aces high.


High or low draft pick without elaborating...

I know, I'm cruel.

Is a top 5 pick (for example) termed a high pick or a low pick?

Noone will ever really know.

Noone will ever really know.

I think its termed an "extremely high pick" as opposed to a "really high pick" (pick 8), a "very high pick" (pick 10) or a "high pick" (pick 11).

Also you have a "sorta high pick" (pick 20), an "medium high pick" (pick 24) and a "high medium pick" (pick 29).

Don't get me started on the medium or the low picks.

Glad to be of service.

High or low draft pick without elaborating...

:D


Keyser...what about our pick 18 ? Sorta-high-sorta pick ?

I won't elaborate either rpfc....

Simple. Its a Sorta-Sorta-High Pick.

Its highly scientific.

I formulated this hypothesis using calculators, bunsen burners and such.

Me too Low Tower!

 

Isn't it called a high draft pic as then number 1 is put up on the board, its at the top, usually quite high. Hence even though its a low number, its higher up the ladder so to speak...

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
