Open Thread: Day 1 of the 2016 MLB Draft

I don't think that anyone here would trade today, with the Cub not having a pick on the first day, for the excitement of the past few years on draft day. Sure, the Cubs got Albert Almora Jr., Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Ian Happ in the first round of the last four drafts and that's terrific. But the reason the Cubs got those players is because they had lost 91, 101, 96 and 89 games in the years previously. On top of that, the Cubs don't have a pick today because Jason Heyward and John Lackey are Cubs.
