If Day One of the draft is the radio hit and Day Two of the draft is the lesser-known sophomore album, Day Three is the weird side project where the lead singer of the group goes into the Smoky Mountains and records two hours of the Acadian Flycatcher’s song on a Victrola accompanied by a harpsichord. It’s a niche event, is what I’m saying. This is where organizations stock up on talent to fill out their organizations with the hope of landing one or two breakout players. Not that there isn’t significant talent to be found in the later rounds of the draft: Dexter Fowler was a 14th-round pick, Cody Allen a 23rd-rounder, and, as he’s quick to remind people, Kevin Kiermaier was taken in the 31st round.
