Power-ranking the Arizona Diamondbacks 1st-round draft picks

The Diamondbacks have had twenty picks in the first round of the MLB draft. How have we done with our previous choices?

Notes:

  • We did not have a first-round pick in 1998, because it went to the Royals for us signing Jay Bell.
  • The same happened in 2000, when it went to the Braves for... Er, Russ Springer. I'm sure it made sense at the time. Oh, and Atlanta used our pick to draft some guy called Adam Wainwright. Ouch.
  • However, in 2003 and 2009, the reverse happened and we gained an additional picks, from the Mariners (Greg Colbrunn) and Dodgers (Orlando Hudson) respectively.
