What the Nationals did in rounds three through five is why you do an under slot deal at the top. After taking Willits and Ethan Petry with their first two picks, the Nats took three straight high schoolers with massive upside. We talked about Landon Harmon last night, now it is time to talk about two more prepsters.
In the fourth and fifth round, the Nats took high schoolers Miguel Sime Jr. and Coy James. Both are likely to be players that require over slot deals. Sime and James were both considered top 100 players in the class, but were picked at 111th and 142nd respectively.
