I thought mono was saying that the final draft picks could be quite different from where they stand now because GC17 have picks 1,2,3.5,7,9,11,13,15,26,43 and they could trade any number of these before the draft to get a better mix of experience (separate from the out-of-contract player rules)
Forget Warnock for a moment, this could open up all sorts of possibilities and complexities
