The draft for dummies?

My 2018 is getting a little bit of interest from pro scouts. He was asked to fill out some questionnaires after Jupiter, and now his travel team is holding some kind of showcase in March and a coach said a scout asked to see him there.

I've looked at some of the old threads, but honestly, this isn't about money or where he might get drafted. It's much more basic than that. So, can you tell me the draft process for dummies?

Is this process of people seeing him and evaluating his skill similar to how college coaches work? Is there any benefit in getting in front of people now and trying to create interest even if he does plan to go to college? How and when do you know scouts are seriously interested?

I'm not wild about the idea of him skipping college at this point, and I'm not sure where he sits, but I know it's at least an eventual goal so we both probably need to learn more.
