AFL clubs could offer up to three first-round picks in a potential trade for the No. 1 overall selection at the 2023 National Draft, likely to be prodigious midfielder Harley Reid.

Reid, 17, is tipped by many to be taken first during this year's festivities, as the young midfielder dominated the Coates Talent League last year during his bottom-age season, averaging 21.8 disposals, 4.8 marks, and 3.6 inside-50s per game.

Speaking on AFL.com.au's Gettable, Riley Beveridge and Cal Twomey discussed the circumstances surrounding the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, with Beveridge likening last year's mega-trade centred on Jason Horne-Francis to a potential Reid super-package this year.

"Over the last 12 to 24 months we've seen a trade for the No.1 pick as part of that mega trade that you revealed last year which saw the Giants move up to get Aaron Cadman," Beveridge started.

"The year before we saw [Twomey] report around Richmond and Adelaide bidding for North Melbourne's No.1 pick which was obviously rejected for them to take Jason Horne-Francis.

"I reckon the hype around Harley Reid, if he's to replicate his bottom-age season, will be unlike anything we've ever seen. I reckon a club will offer three first-round picks for Harley Reid."

Twomey believes those discussions around a trade are already occurring.

"I think that will happen and I think those discussions are already happening within clubs to the point where [they're saying] 'How do we actually get enough picks to make a throw at the stumps no matter who finishes in last position?' [It's] about how you can actually tally up enough selections to at least put together an attractive offer," Twomey said.

"Everyone has their future first-round pick, 14 clubs have their first-round pick for this year and four clubs have an extra first-rounder for this year as well.

"[There are] clubs in different positions but most of them have this year and next year's picks so they'll be thinking 'How do you get an extra first-round pick in?' Do you trade a player out? Do you try to turn this year's pick into two selections and then use a future first-rounder to go with that?'"

This year's draft is scheduled to take place in late November, following the AFL's trade and free agency period.
