Every June, the MLB draft occurs, and that's when teams can select among the best high school and college talent in the country to add to their minor league systems. Some first-round picks will turn out great, while others will become busts and may not even make the major leagues.
Jon Matlack, Lee Mazzilli, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and David Wright have been among the Mets' greatest first-round draft picks, while the biggest draft busts include Steve Chilcott, Shawn Abner, Paul Wilson and Lastings Milledge.
Over the past decade, the Mets have had some first-round draft picks turn out great, while others never made it to the major leagues.
