Getting drafted at Pick 4 is generally seen as disappointing for youngsters since it doesn't come with the same level of recognition as the three picks above. However, it also comes with a reduced level of pressure which has worked wonders for some of the best players of this generation.

The players below have managed to pave themselves a successful career or show clear signs of the promising tenures they have to look forward to.

With the just days away, the forgotten No.4 pick could potentially follow the lead of those below and make themselves an amazing career.

However, there are many who did not live up to the hype, such as Tim Walsh, Anthony Morabito, Jimmy Toumpas and Jarrod Pickett, who all struggled to put more than one season of regular footy together.

With the likes of Sam Darcy, Neil Erasmus, Finn Callaghan, Ben Hobbs or Josh Ward all likely to land at Pick 4, whoever gets the fourth selection (either GWS or Gold Coast) is likely to strike gold.

Here are the top 10 draft picks since 2000.

1. Marcus Bontempelli

After being drafted by the Bulldogs from the Northern Knights in 2013, Bontempelli has quickly become one of the premier midfielders in the game.

In his 171-game career so far, the Bont has averaged 23.2 disposals, 4.9 tackles and 0.9 goals a game thanks to his ability to do the job on both the inside and out.

The Bulldogs' skipper is currently a four-time All Australian, four-time best and fairest, AFL MVP and an AFLCA Player of the Year to go along with his 2016 premiership.
