Don't want to be the bull in the china shop here but this is the reality:

If your son has not filled any questionares for any teams or the bureau, he is not going to get drafted. Generally at this point when the draft is 4 weeks away, your going to have an idea if there's a shot. He could though come on quick and then start filling out paperwork. If nothing is filled out, before the draft, they may just mark your son down as a "follow guy" in college.

As for the late round picks. A lot of times in the draft room after the 9th or 10th round some of the scouting supervisors or cross checkers will pick up a newspaper and put their feet on the table. At that point your area guys are fighting for players they want. So it is possible in this scenario: your son fills out a form or forms for a team and two an area scout really believes your son has got a chance to be a big leaguer someday.

I could go on and on. If you have any questions, PM me.
