Sam Draper is still in the very early part of his senior career as a ruckman, but he has definitely shown signs of belonging at the level. Essendon have a raft of very tall youngsters on their list at the moment, but it appears that Draper is going to be the long-term lead ruck for the Dons which means he will be of fantasy interest for the next decade. It will most likely be several years before he hits his ceiling, with season five usually the time when a ruckman hits his peak, which means if you're a dynasty league owner you'll have to wait a fair while.
