ADELAIDE has a bevy of top-20 picks, but what do the Crows plan to do with them?
Keep them and target some South Australian talents? Or try to bundle them together and move up the draft order?
Crows list manager and Justin Reid and recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie are guests on this week's Road to the Draft podcast and they share their plans with their three top-20 picks.
The pair also discuss shaping the club's list after last year's Grand Final, their views on this season's draft pool, who is in the mix for the No.1 pick and landing Darcy Fogarty last season.
