Grading the Blue Jays' Last Five First Round Picks

From Auston Matthews and Scottie Barnes to the likes of Vince Carter and Wendel Clark, Toronto sports fans have seen plenty of bankable stars obtained over the years through drafting. And while the Toronto Blue Jays have had no shortage of talented players, less than you'd expect have actually been drafted by the team - and even fewer were obtained in the first round.

Vladdy Guerrero Jr. was signed as an international free agent, other stars like Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Joe Carter and Robbie Alomar were acquired through trades - and while homegrown players like Bo Bichette and Kevin Pillar *were* drafted by the team, they weren't first round picks.
