I put a lot of thought into this and I think this is as good of a breakdown on the draft I can do. I don't agree with all of these picks as I think some players are better than their draft status but this is simply a prediction of what I think could happen. Please express any thoughts or additions you might have. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

Was Gibson's injury/ lost velocity taken into account?
12th seems high for someone with injury questions.

i'd be quite upset if the royals draft a college pitcher throwing in the 80s
Fire Hillman

I think he'll recover
his velocity as I think his arm is simply fatigued

The Sox pick before the Yankees. You must have used an old draft order.

This is like the third time Ive seen Massi there for the Sox
I like the pick. Not really their style.
Id like it even more if an arm drops… My nightmare is if Green drops. The Sox have had a lot of problems identifying power hitters and developing home grown power. Im not sure how theyd feel about Green.

Looks pretty decent, but I don’t think there is any chance that Tim Wheeler makes it till the end of the first round let alone the second. And I really don’t see Tyler Matzek making it out of the top 10. Even if his demands are huge, there are just too many teams in on him.

IMO
Too many off the wall picks….ie: Paxton WAY too high (performance is not there PLUS hes a Boras client), Dominguez at 20 (What? There has been zero indication of this even being remotely possible), Bailey in the 1st (he’ll go in rounds 2-4 but I dont see anyone risking a first on a kid with a blown elbow), Chad Jenkins WAY too low (good stuff, good production, will sign for slot: he’s not getting out of round 1), Everett Williams in the 70’s (one of the strongest prep hitters, strong tools, very signable: he’s not getting past the supplemental 1st), etc.

Don't see the Nats taking pitchers
with each of their first four selections.
I can understand pitchers being the best available at 1 & 10, but I’d imagine they would go Pollock, Wheeler or Maddox in the second over Bullock

Braves @ 87
Matt Den Dekker, OF, Florida will not be taken. I can guarantee you that the Braves will take a middle infielder at this point. Ryan Jackson would be AMAZING for the Braves there. I think that the Braves may, in fact, take Grant Green at 7.
Plus, Tim Wheeler is WAYYYYYYYYYYY too low. You have him in the 2nd round? I’ve seen mocks where the guy is going #4!

With Eddie Bane at the helm
the Angels rarely draft college players with their higher picks, so I think your predictions for their first five picks are highly unlikely. Don’t see the Angels passing on Mier, Trout, or Everett Williams if they’re available.
On the other hand, I could definitely see the team selecting Marisnick with the 80th pick.

We can quibble with picks
But kudos for going three rounds. Very extensive.
