That strategy is a genuine option and it really comes down to what the Pies likely think will be in the first six in the 2022 draft versus what’s available between say 6 - 13 in this draft. If they rate Jye Amiss as a KPF, then I would like to see them try to swap first rounders and buy into 2021. Amiss would likely fall between 7 - 11 on the night. I’m not convinced we should be fussed about targeting anyone other than Amiss under that strategy. No one is raving about the next available mids being anything particularly special once you get past J H F and Callaghan as the first live picks.
The key to this strategy is not going into points deficit after having given up your 2022 first rounder, otherwise you then enter the 2022 draft very late, which is far from ideal in a list build ( also assuming we traded at least one future out for either Lipinski or Krueger )
The other club who will have more picks than they can handle is Richmond. Four in the top thirty odd and more picks to come for C C J and compensation for Chol. They could easily roll them up, get closer to the pointy end and then still trade something out to store away for 2022
Trading out next years first to get back into this years draft makes sense. With the lack of footy over the past 2 x years, there will be even more uncertainty over the development of next years crop. You'd have to really trust that there'll be a full season and your scouts can travel to see kids live.
A top 6 or 7 pick next year may be a hit, or it may be Amiss...

Next year's crop will very likely have had a full season. This year's has had almost no footy for the past 2.
