Fans are going to talk players up ahead of a draft, it's what they do. Knowing you're locked into a player if they progress well makes it much easier to track them.
I haven't seen too much of anyone overrating our NGA kids. Henry who's the only one taken in the open draft was selected by Carlton well before most fans and draft pundits expected him to go (which was the mid teens). The rest of our NGA kids were taken with rookie picks which is about what they were worth and where they were expected to go.
This year most draft pundits have B Walker a top 20 chance but most likely in the early/mid 20's while Western is probably about 10 spots later in the draft. I haven't heard anyone here say any more than that which is the equivalent of non-supporters. Either way, we wouldn't select either before another club put a bid in so the club won't be overrating them. We've also passed on many NGA kids and will do so again with 1 Cat B spot this draft being fought for between C Walker, Haddow and Alvarez.
