A lot of this depends on when you trade these guys into yr team. If you start with them and they're there at the end of the season it's a moot point but realistically you could end up with an average from 2 different players of 120+ with both players averaging less than say 110 depending on when the bulk of the points were scored. Like Tom Green early last season was on fire and a strategic trade to someone like Petracca probably ended up with a higher true average than either of these ended up with.
He showed majority of last year that he wasnt capable of shouldering the ruck load alone and Phillips and Bryan are both still on the list, I can't say I'm overly surprised that Draper is at least being trialled in different positions.
For me if you're hell bent on the value Ruck setup surely you just pick Lycett, I have very minimal trust in him either but at least he has history of some ressonable scoring output and if named will be doing the vast majority of the Ruck work.
It's a shame Meek didnt go to a side where he'd be solo as the clear number one as I think on pure ability hes as good as most Ruckmen going around.

Bugger it - $19.3k left, lots of loose change available in rookies which will obviously vary as we get closer to selection announcements. Biggest unsures for me are R2 Cameron, JHF F3, Yeo D3.
My fun gambles are Macca/LDU/Green. Keeping them there for a bit of excitement before I wimp out at the last minute.
Edit: Macca/Cameron/Sinn/Chesser out, Bowes/Marshall/Allen/Goater in looks a bit tastier tbh.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks run two ruckmen - especially early in the year. Mitch Lewis in injured and will likely miss some early season games, so the only tall forward they have is Koschitzke. So even as number 1 ruck (if he beats our Reeves who was actually good last year), he'll be playing significant amount of time forward.
Will be interesting to see the set up that Mitchell adopts as well. I can see them running with 2 rucks most of the year to allow them to have tall options down the line. Most inexperienced and probably alongside North as the worst midfield group in the comp (on paper) means they probably aren't going to play a free-flowing style.
Read into that as you want - might mean more stoppages, more chances for contested marks etc. but also means more competition for points running with 2 ruckmen.
I think Lycett at the same price is a better option. He's a genuine number 1 ruck as long as he stays fit and has shown the ability to score close to a 100 average in the past unlike Meek.
Other than that I like your set up. I think you might run into trouble with FWD line come round 1 with rookies. If you need to free up cash I'd be looking at Doch/ Dawson down to Daicos

Appreciate the response.
Have seen the reports of Hawks running two rucks, not enough to throw me off liking him as a pick at this stage of the pre season. Also think there is a good chance Lewis is back earlier than expected given nature of his injury (sprain). We will see how it plays out.
Yeah not sure on Lycett myself, probably see Meek having the bigger ceiling if all goes right. Poor durability too.
Not convinced on Daicos either. Little surprised at his ownership tbh. Can't really see how the midfield move happens this year and think he cops some attention at times from defensive types.
