Here’s a first look at our top 10 rounds worth of draft picks, or where we stand after day 2 of the MLB Draft.<\/p>\n

Overall, the mock draft pundits really nailed the top of this draft, perfectly predicting the first 7 picks.\u00a0 Starting around pick 8 though, we started to see enough surprises\/reaches that allowed the Nats to end up with a guy ranked as\u00a0 high as #12 on most pre-draft boards at the #17 pick, pretty good value all things considered.\u00a0 They also got pretty good “value” with their 3rd and 4th rounders.<\/p>\n

How about the Nats picks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
