How to explore this draft hand

Sydney enters at pick 6. Build a shortlist with alternatives before that selection arrives, then compare what an earlier pick would cost against the options likely to remain. A trade only helps if the extra access is worth the selections given up.

The two-selection total is a useful first check for an early bid, but not a guarantee of matching eligibility. Selections already used, the bid’s live position, ladder adjustments and list places all matter.
