North Melbourne is among a number of clubs who are dangling lucrative future picks in an effort to add to their Telstra AFL Draft stocks ahead of Wednesday night's first round.

The Kangas will take a future star with their pick 2 but have made it clear to rival teams that they are willing to also part with a future first-round selection to get back into the first round later in the evening.

Speaking to AFL.com.au's Gettable Draft Countdown on Monday, North Melbourne national recruiting and retention manager Will Thursfield again reiterated the club's desire to get its hands on multiple picks inside the first round of the draft.

"Because of the guys we brought in during the trade period, we've only got picks No.2 and 62 at the moment. To get something in between that would be nice," Thursfield said.

"It'll come down to who is there, what's the cost of getting back in, all of those things. But we'll be working the phones.

"It's more around who is going to be there, as opposed to a number. Everyone will see it slightly differently. As we know, it's a very deep draft so there will be some appeal."

North Melbourne had also tentatively put its No.2 selection on the table throughout the trade period, but the Kangas now look more likely to retain the pick ahead of Wednesday night.

"I think it's been a bit overstated, our willingness to move (pick 2)," Thursfield said.

"Pick No.2 is a very, very good pick and we're hoping it's a star player. We're very happy sitting there, but we're not ruling anything out."
