Compiled By: Austin Alexander – June 6, 2013

lylesjordan-astros11.jpgThe workouts have concluded, the notes have been made, scouting miles have been logged and final organizational meetings have been had… and now it’s finally draft time! As we mosey around South Carolina throughout the calendar, we are often asked to make predictions on the upcoming draft, who will be taken, which round will they go in, who is most signable, etc. We’ve asked a few questions of our own to some ‘bigwigs’ and threw in our two cents as well.

But this year, like last, is a different animal altogether… Check out the drastically new draft rules: 2012 Draft

The entire process has always been a crapshoot, even for those making the final decisions so we aren’t going to take a stab at which round, but below is what we did come up with regards to who has a chance to be drafted this week and slotted them into three categories.

Our crystal ball comes with far less confidence than past years, but here it is:
