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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
