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.

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

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.

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...

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
