Ranking Every 2019 WWE Draft Pick So Far From Worst To Best

4. Sasha Banks

Draft Position: #3 to SmackDown. #7 overall.

Forget the fact she was drafted third by the brand, because Sasha Banks is (by quite some margin) the real top pick for SmackDown.

Perhaps the greatest thing WWE could do in this Draft is get her away from Becky Lynch for the time being. Their feud is one the company can come back to next year, but it would've been unnecessary to book more matches after Hell In A Cell. If only they could show the same restraint with Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt.

On SmackDown, Sasha will re-align with her pal Bayley. Then, when Bayley drops the SmackDown Women's Title to someone, Banks can capitalise by taking her rightful spot as a blue-haired dynamo who can lead the brand into 2020.
