Day 2 of the draft began with this tweet by our benevolent overlord:
According to source, Cubs initially wanted to go in different direction with #27 pick but opted for Ryan Jensen due to underslot bonus considerations. They were looking to pay pick 43-45 money there, which wasn't going to work for top choice.

After reading that thread and talking to Evan, I had no doubt the Cubs would go overslot on one or two of the eight picks they had Tuesday. It was a matter of time.
