The Angels' plan when they selected Tyler Bremner No. 2 overall was to be able to save enough money to sign their mid and late-round selections. They lost Ryan Prager after picking him the prior draft, despite going below-slot by selecting Christian Moore No. 8. Perry Minasian and his front office clearly wanted to get a transcendent player with that high of a draft pick, but the name of the game with a draft is quantity. Especially in a draft like this one, where it was not that top-heavy, the front office wanted to prioritize getting as many draftees as they could into their pipeline.
