Mature aged recruits hidden gem longshots

I’m just thinking about GC’s draft picks again…and was wondering whether these mature player concessions have just made their pick surplus even more significant…

It looks like:

  • GC have been awarded two additional rookie spaces, but no additional main list spaces.
  • Are these mature players main list or rookie list additions? Probably main list…it would only seem fair to these players, who are meant to be the best mature prospects…they should get some reward for joining these lowly teams ahead of the draft?
  • So…GC are now even more awash with excess main list picks…some of which they probably won’t use? Unless they downgrade existing listed players to the rookie list, in order to enable the taking of more main draft selections?

Basically, I’m expecting GC to be quite keen to swap say multiple third rounders into earlier picks (which will appeal to teams seeking academy points)…and perhaps swapping 2018 picks into 2019 picks of some sort?
