The crazy part about last year's top five is all five of those picks would have been picked ahead of all the players in the 2024 draft. That's shitty the Royals couldn't have landed one of those guys.
But I will say this, I feel like there's a major drop off after the first top 10 picks this year, so it's good to for the Royals to be at 6.
It's also one of those drafts where so many top 40 prospects have noticeable flaws and any team picking on the first day could eventually wind up with one of the top players.

If you want to tank as a strategy so be it, not all teams will do it.
The lottery just hoses bad teams. In the NHL it's ****ed the Red Wings repeatedly.
