West Coast Eagles chief executive Don Pyke has declared it would take an "unbelievable" offer for his club to trade its picks ahead of draft night.

The Eagles currently have picks one, two and 13 with Willem Duursma predicted to go at No.1.

Richmond and Essendon both have multiple picks inside the top 10.

"The strong likelihood is we'll take one and two unless something unbelievable came out from one of those offers," Pyke told reporters.

"You never say never, but at this point we get the opportunity to take the best two young men in the draft and that's what we'll look to do."

Last year, the Eagles trade pick three for a combination of players and picks.

Pyke was speaking at a sponsorship announcement on the same day the Eagles returned for day one of pre-season.

The West Australian reported it was more of a cramp issue with the young superstar cleared to return to training.

He was also sporting a new hair style, which teammate Liam Duggan wasn't the biggest fan of.

"I dislike it, but I'm glad he's bringing his flair," he smiled.
