That is a lop sided trade. We give up picks worth about 1,200 points for one worth about 700 points.
I would have thought whoever is getting pick 27 would do better with the picks we swaped
Odd.
It all depends on how many picks we want to take to the actual draft though. Assuming we receive at least 1 pick in the first round this year (may be multiple if Freo can't get a top 10 pick for us) and factoring in the Bedford pick from GWS plus the Hunt compo, had we kept those 3 picks we just traded to Port that's 6 picks plus Grundy to come in. And assuming we're still looking to bring in more players via FA or trade there's only so many list spots to go round. So really it was trading away picks we were unlikely to use to get a pick for Grundy and knowing we'll be getting a couple more picks in the 30s and a decent first.
So yes it's a good trade for Port but not really a big loss for the Dees once you consider all the comings and goings.
