Mack’s Sunday 2017 Draft Report – 6-19-16

Good morning.

Tom Brennan has asked me to come back and contribute here, even it is to be sporadically. I should be able to help both Tom and Reese to keep the ‘ship afloat’… and maybe even get Ernest back for his primo Friday report. We’ll see.

For those concerned, my health is generally fine though I do have to monitor my blood sugar throughout the day.

For now, I’m going to work on returning with my Sunday look at the upcoming draft. I expect this to start off to be every other week due to the lack of new information coming in at this point in the 2017 mock season.

I’m also going to try and keep track of what the Mets 2016 draft produced this year.

First, the 2017 draft.
