Draft the best guy available to you, regardless of position, in the first.
Rutschman is the safest prospect in the draft because of his plate discipline and proven production. His offensive profile/projection matches the best college bats.
Comparing him to Andrew Vaughn, a worst-case for Rutschman would be him having to move off C and play 1B. Their bat profile is practically identical and you could make a case Rutschman’s is better.
Rutschman also has the athleticism to potentially play 3B or LF I’d catching is causing problems.
