I think they are both good options. I intend to get Blakely next week and am still considering him for this week.
Defs is so hard this year because the bar seems to have risen to about a 100ave. Of course we won't end up with that at d6 but in the past if you found a sub 400k guy you thought could go 90-95 it was often a good option. This year our "value picks" are still 450k+ and we have to find ones with the capacity to go 100+. Tough year.

If you take out Blakely 13 and 7 scores in 2 injury affected games he scored at 99.73 in 15 games in 2017 playing predominantly midfield (and tagging).
When moved to the HBF in 2018 his scoring dropped back to 85 in 13 games.
He had 4 x 100+ but also 5 x <70
In 2017 he had 9 x 100+ and 5 x <70 so isn't the most consistent but does have that ceiling there.
Hopefully with Neale gone he plays a more midfield oritentated role this year. The rumours were he'd be tagging NEale this week so I'll be interesting to see how he scores in that game. Would like to see a 90+ against Brisbane on his home deck in the midfield/tagging role before bringing him in.
His and Houli's bye suit though.

The small worry is they use him as a tagger which has been highlighted this week in regards to Neale.
In saying that, that’s still better than HBF and big bodied taggers who can accumulate themselves like Hewett and Steele have still been going ok for the most part.
Would be interesting to see his tackle numbers this week as that will help his scoring a fair bit too.

Zach Williams look alarming. Probably going to have to trade.
Suspect the masses will lump onto Stewart so will be avoiding that. Looking at:
Crisp
Ellis
McGovern
Hurley
Witherden
Probably a toss up for me between Crisp and Witherden. I thought both would be top 10 defenders at the start of the year, and expect both to improve from here.

As much as I love the idea of CD employees sitting in a room, arbitrarily deciding which players they are going to score less during a season - it's probably more likely the case that he just hasn't been as effective with the ball or in the contest.
Either way, it wouldn't take much of an improvement in his SC/DT ratio for him to be elite again.
