To kick off our Mock Draft analysis, I've gone round by round to discuss my thoughts as we conducted our first staff-wide 13 team mock draft. Let's do it.

Round 1: Nolan Arenado (3B, Colorado Rockies) - I don't think there is much to contest here. I'm a huge advocate of consistently productive bats in the first two rounds and Arenado is as secure as they come, with an average rising each season to .309 in 2017, and upside for 40/100/100 each year. I felt fortunate to see him fall the #6 overall.
