This gotta be the first rule 5 draft to have this many first rounders. Have heard of some of these names. It's still crazy to me how much of a bust Kevin Parada has been cuz they were saying how safe he was at least as far as his bat when he got drafted.

Tarik said fukk the Yanks. He’s a Queens guy.

This is why I'm almost always in favor of trading prospects for proven players.

Passan said dodgers want Tucker on a short term high aav deal

Blue jays ,orioles ,Yankees & Phillies most likely landing spot

Majority of the top 10 picks from ‘16- ‘21 drafts been busts

Tik tok has a series showing this , most have been colossal flops

It was hunter Greene,Riley Greene,Witt jr rutchman(fell off) and bohm who made it may be forgetting a dude or two

The rest sucked ,never made it to mlb ,were flops or too injured

16 is such a bust class
17 & 19 are the best of the stretch between 2016-2021.

Braves just keep producing ROTY or ROTY candidates with late round picks.
They've had an impact rookie every season for years now.

Corbin Carroll and George Kirby are also in the 19 draft first round.

There are a few guys in 19 that I'm not ready to write off yet like Josh Jung, Shea Langeliers, Quinn Priester and Bryson Stott all first round as well.

Another player drafted by the Braves.
They do a great job drafting catchers.

It was just top ten picks tho, expand it it to the whole first round then you have a valid point

But top ten it’s been mad misses

2016 so many guys I thought were going to be elite players down the line

Mickey Moniak, Nick Senzel, Ian Anderson, AJ Puk, out of the Top 10 and Alex Kiriloff and Forrest Whitley in the top 20

MLB teams should be allowed to trade draft picks.
