Could the Padres target UCLA’s Garrett Mitchell with the eighth overall pick?

Up until the last couple of weeks, Garrett Mitchell has consistently been mocked ahead of the Padres‘ eighth overall pick in the upcoming MLB Draft. The UCLA product has been revered as one of the best college outfielders in this class, but several recent mock drafts have him going in the middle of the round. Could this be good news for the Friars?

To this point, I just assumed Mitchell would be off the board by the time the Padres pick, and that may still happen.
