All Eleven Picks in First Ten Rounds Have Now Signed. Time to Ink the HS Picks

According to Jim Callis, Drew Gilbert signed slightly under slot, as did 2nd rounder Jacob Melton. Our boys at AstrosFuture have all of the details.

There is a pot of roughly $1 million to get Ryan Clifford, ranked inside the top 100 on several sights (i.e., a 2nd or 3rd round talent).

Given that many considered Gilbert to belong in the top half of the 1st round, and Melton was a fringe, 1st-round comp. type pick, adding Clifford would really be a shot in the arm in terms of talent infusion. It’s a bit of a coup that both of these talents signed under slot.
