West Coast offers pick 23 and future first-rounder to jump into top 11
West Coast Eagles are offering pick 23 and a future first-rounder to move into the top 11.
West Coast is making a bold play to grab extra firepower in this year's Telstra AFL Draft. The Eagles hold picks three and 23.
The Eagles are willing to give up pick 23 plus their 2027 first-rounder to move into the top 11 picks. If a bid comes in for Port Adelaide prospect Dougie Cochrane at number one, it would push West Coast's pick three back.
The Eagles are also willing to trade a pick in the 20s for a future first-rounder. They want to chase Sydney free agent Chad Warner next year.
The Eagles are trying to double up by getting strong players in both the 2026 draft and the future.
