Last year we should have had a top 5 pick and should have gotten Walker Jenkins who is the #5 ranked prospect in all of baseball. This year we should have had the #2 pick and we'd have a shot at a legit difference maker.

I hate it too, but I can see why the MLBPA wanted it with so many teams tanking and not spending on free agents.
The crazy part about last year's top five is all five of those picks would have been picked ahead of all the players in the 2024 draft. That's shitty the Royals couldn't have landed one of those guys.
But I will say this, I feel like there's a major drop off after the first top 10 picks this year, so it's good to for the Royals to be at 6.
It's also one of those drafts where so many top 40 prospects have noticeable flaws and any team picking on the first day could eventually wind up with one of the top players.
