Final 2017 Mock Draft from Callis and Mayo
The 2017 MLB Draft is here, and this is our final attempt to project the first round.
Note that the Indians (who forfeited their first-round pick when they signed Edwin Encarnacion), Rockies (Ian Desmond) and Cardinals (Dexter Fowler) do not appear in this projection because they do not pick in the first round.
