Beckham in the second round? They're kidding, right?

And what about the supplemental rounds?

That's pretty cool considering that Alex Wilson no longer attends the school listed!!!!!! Duh.

Yes, where are the compensation rounds?

It's a mock draft. Feel free to mock it.

The 1st rd list at the site "Infidel_08" gave a link for looks pretty good at first glance. IMO

Anyway, it's still too early for mock drafts IMO.

I don't know how anybody could predict the draft accurately this early out. Or even the day of.

The list Frank Martin posts doesn't even mention the supplemental round at all, so that'll give you some idea of how well researched it is.

When you consider that the guy most thought was the top pick went # 27 last year (because of his $$$ demands and the limited number of teams willing to meet them), that kind of thing tends to turn it all upside down, often at the last minute.

Also this assumes everyone listed is "signable". Some are, some aren't. Others would be signable if the money were right, but aren't where they are listed, if the team is intent on paying no more than "slot money".

If someone could figure all that out 3+ months ahead of time, they sure could make a lot of money in Vegas.

After seeing all those mock NFL drafts and mock NBA drafts...I LOVE the fact that someone has take the time to work one out. And the joy about the baseball draft IS the "signability" and "Scott Boras" issues that allowed a team like the Tigers to get a top-5 talent late in the first round.

A mock draft is all about having fun. Don't be a bunch of haters.

That's one theorem.

The Brewers have 6 of the first 58 picks in the 08 draft! They should load up with talent with all those picks.

Rumor is that this is a down year for HS talent overall. Any opinions?

Old Pitcher......I bet the Brewers will waste half those picks on guys that can't play.
