The Braves had the most picks available last night of any club and other than Houston (who had better picks), had the most to gain.
The question, then, is whether that goal was achieved.
We will not know the complete answer until a decade from now since there are a pile or 17- and 18-year-olds that were selected last night, but there are several observations that we can make.
