In: Daniel Currie (North Melbourne), Matt Rosa (West Coast), picks 6, 16, 29 and 56; 2016 first-round pick (Melbourne), 2016 second-round pick (Port Adelaide), 2016 second-round pick (Richmond) and 2016 second-round pick (Fremantle)
Out: Harley Bennell, Charlie Dixon, Zac Smith, picks 3, 22, 19, 43
2015 draft picks: 6, 16, 29, 56, 79, 97, 115
Filled a need: With Zac Smith wanting more opportunities elsewhere, it was imperative the Suns got back-up help for Tom Nicholls – and they got that in Currie. Don't underestimate Rosa's addition either. For a team light on for experienced leadership, he fills the void nicely.
Still to find: After failing in the pursuit of Jeremy Howe, Andrejs Everitt and Paul Seedsman, the Suns are still on the lookout for a third tall forward and pacy wing option. - Michael Whiting
Nathan Schmook's verdict: If the 2016 draft is going to be a high quality crop, then the Suns could be the unexpected winner. They have traded strategically to improve their position next year, maintaining two prime picks this year. It could have been better for the Suns though if there had been more bidders for Bennell. They wanted him out of the club, but in the end they gave him up for too little. They held firm on Dixon and made sure they got a good return for the key forward leaving, somewhat balancing their trade period. The recruiters will be very happy in 12 months.
