With the draft order finalized, I figured it was time to update my first-round projection. Anthony Rendon, Gerrit Cole, Matt Purke and George Springer continue to be considered the top four overall prospects available for this year's draft, but it is still very early for just about anything to happen between now and June.
It’s a little early to try and figure out what players are going to go where in next June’s draft, but with the draft order set I figured it would be fun to take a stab at it. Be sure to visit the Rankings Page to see how I currently have the top 50 prospects ranked, and take advantage of the new comments feature to chime in with your own thoughts.
