I think this is a little off, they're disasters if they don't improve, but if they can generate at least some cash and score extra points you can work around them. By that I mean Sicily needs to get to low 90s and Hewett mid+ 80s then they're not seriously impeding your progress, they just become bye round upgrades to make, Hewett of course hurt that he has the first bye so can't dodge a bye with him but Sicily has last bye and a lot of the stronger backs are available at that point.
But yeah, they're not ideal but still, a Sicily scoring 88 would technically be a better pick than a Short scoring 95 on value but the trade needed probably o***ets that. Using trades for 10 point improvements is not ideal, it's generally going to be similar value to a donut avoided later in the season!
I'm not sure what stats you're looking at but given Laird is ranked 9th, Mills 14th, Zorko 16th and Dangerfield is 23rd I'm not sure how you're getting those numbers.
The winner last year literally had Taranto as just that so I'm not sure I agree, albeit it's nice to plan for more!
We definitely overstate what is needed from starting picks when value is included. Everyone looks at "premium line =x" therefore value pick must average x but the reality is that depending on the value that line can move significantly and be a fair bit below x.
Sometimes you use a veteran who knows the role to direct youngsters, might be a case where he does it so you can have leaders to structure the defense and learn where they need to be on both the sides.
It's still a threat though because I agree that in most cases you'd do it for a more obvious reason. The fitness one is a good one though, HB allows for better controlled running and less contact influenced running so certainly allows for more miles into the legs under controlled situations.

Fantasy related, but SC relevant.

Not phased by that myself. None of Brown, Jones, Macpherson, Butts, Doedee or Murphy are really strong kicks or rebounders, some of them aren't bad but really only Brodie Smith right now who seems a big threat to the pill finding it's way to him.
He's probably not a primary rebounder but he's cheap enough and the role is decent enough that the JS/Durability is really the only question I have on him but he's just about at the top of my personal rookie ranks.
