OK, the draft is over and draft grades are starting to come in. The one I have seen so far gives Cleveland the SECOND LOWEST GRADE IN THE MAJOR LEAUGES for their 2026 draft.
This is the part I hate about a draft. Looking back and seeing what could have/should have happened.
So here is my draft, most of which is from my pre-draft and after first day mock drafts. Where guys have been taken I simply slid guys up or plugged in guys of roughly the same ability.
1 - Hunter Dietz, LHP, Arnkansas
2. Ryan Peterson, RHP, Sam Houston St.
3. Nathan Taylor, RHP, Cincinnati [NOTE: It was Maxx Yehl but he was taken already]
4. Cal Randall, RHP, UCLA (NOTE: It was Josh McDevitt but he was taken already)
5. Eric Nachtheim RHP, McNeese St.
6. Cam Johnson, LHP, Oklahoma
7. Savion Sims, RHP, HS
8. Chris Katz, 1B, Mercer
9. Gavin Van Kempen, RHP, East Carolina
10. Christian Coppola, RHP, St. Joseph's
11. Mark Quatrani, C, Notre Dame
12. Grayson Fitzwater, 1B, VMI
13. Judd Utemark UTIL Ole Miss
Rounds 14-20 - HS pitchers and college power hitters
NOTE: These were all guys I had mentioned in my posts so I didn't just back engineer this shadow draft.
Willing to put this one in a time capsule and come back in the requisite 5 years.
