So we've got pick 5 and 30. Who do you want?

So Beams goes to Brisbane and we receive pick 4 as part of the compensation, what then?
Do you want the club to use it to pursue a ready made quality Beams replacement like Dangerfield or an Essendon player wanting out?
Is your preference to take it to draft day and take the best midfielder available at that selection or should we just take the best available even if that's another key position player in the mould of Moore?
Thinking outside the square would it be possible to move up a couple of places in the draft by putting together a trade offer involving more than just the Beams compensation?
Would pick 4 and Mayes (pick 8 in the 2012 draft) be enough to prize pick 1 off a club a club in total rebuild mode like St.Kilda?
Would pick 4, Lumumba and an exchange of later draft picks be enough to see us move up to selection 2 and gain Clark?
If a trade for Dangerfield doesn't come off then trading up a couple of picks does have it's appeal.
While a quality potential A grader can most certainly be obtained at pick 4 if we're after a midfielder there is a good chance that the 2 considered the best of this draft in Petracca and Brayshaw will likely go top 3.
If we go with the theory that good big men are harder to find then McCartin might still be there at pick 2. If not then hello Petracca.
I think it's something worth seriously considering and assuming Moore has to be taken at pick 8 then I'd happily give away our second round pick for the sake of moving up a couple of draft places.
Below are a couple of links giving you some info on those who'll be available at selection 4 and below.
Who do you have your eye on?
