Keith Law's MLB draft Day 1 recap: Best picks and a few risks

Day 1 of the MLB draft, featuring Rounds 1 and 2 and their associated supplemental picks, is now in the books, with 73 players selected Monday. Here are some quick thoughts on the evening, highlighting the picks I liked the most and the picks with the biggest gaps between my pre-draft rankings and where the players were selected. (If you noticed I phrased that carefully, you're right.) I threw a few stray thoughts on the second round at the end and added a list of the best players still available for Tuesday. I will do longer individual recaps for all 30 teams at the end of the week.
