The 2012 draft wasn't the deepest draft in recent times, but the first round was stacked with talent.

There were some howlers in there too and some players that never came close to fulfilling their expectations.

We take a look at the entire national draft and redraft the first 15 picks.

Pick 14. Rory Atkinsย 

The sleeper of his draft class no doubt, it seems absurd to think now that Atkins was picked up with pick 81. He has played 98 games for the Crows and was a key part in their grand final push back in 2017. A true wingman, Atkins has great endurance and knows his way around goal. Deserves to bolt up the order.

Gold CoastPick 13. Kamdyn McIntosh

McIntosh is a premiership player at Richmond and has proven to be be a terrific pick up. Capable of playing across half back and on a wing, McIntosh could provide some very handy experience to a young Suns team.
