ROUND-BY-ROUND DRAFT ANALYSIS

1. Jason dropped the first real surprise with Upton at 4.  Wright, Howard and Utley all ended up being value picks, with the dilemma of picking anywhere from 3 through 5 and trying to get value being apparent.

2. Vladimir Guerrero lasting until the 2nd round was quite a novelty!  Phillips and Cabrera were nice value picks, top catchers went earlier than we've seen and Beckett's back injury didn't scare Samantha.

3. Carlos Pena is likely to get a nosebleed from his 3rd round selection!  Liriano has insane upside if healthy, but the pick was a shocker nonetheless.  The Ortiz pick started the open season on DHs.

4. Berkman was a very good flexibility pick here with his dual eligibility.  There go the closers ...

5. Granderson was a nice value pick, as his doppelganger Sizemore went two rounds earlier.  Mid-round saw a little middle-infield run.

6. King Felix and Weeks.  Big (and greedy?) gambles on youth and upside!

7. Given the scarcity at catcher, McCann was one of the greatest value picks of the entire draft.  The ace pitchers were pretty much gone by the end of this round, Abreu was a nice value and Ichiro was drafted closer to the amount of his true worth than perhaps in any other experts' draft anywhere.

8. Loney and Markakis were good upside/value combo picks.  Meanwhile, Rivera, Johnson and Helton represented the spirit of reclamation in this round.

9. Gambles were ensuing here on "next level" pitchers and sluggers with the elite ones off the board.

10. High-upside outfielders went early, good-value Bay went late.

11. This was a round full of gambling on less-proven players such as Japanese import Fukodome (who may earn a different pronunciation of his name from drunken bleacher bums if he gets off to a poor start!).

12. Youth and upside was in vogue here.

13. Much as Rick benefited from being able to take Granderson two rounds after Sizemore, he had lighting strike twice by selecting Gallardo two rounds after Hughes.  Michael Young will be an awesome value pick if he can bounce back to where he was 2-3 years ago.

14. Risks of a contrasting sort came up here: Giambi has looked washed-up of late, while Longoria has a high ceiling but is so very raw.

15. Upside was again the watchword here: Fields, Kennedy, Gorton and Jarrod Salty.

16. Four closers went here, along with the very young (Drew) and old (Glavine).

17. Votto and Garza were classic buy-low youth picks, while Garland and Arroyo have the potential to vastly outperform their selections here.

18. The round started with three consecutive "name" players (Pudge, The Gambler and Gagne) before building to three huge risks: Ryan, Lidge and Harden.

19. Not much of a discernable pattern here, nor many eyebrow-raising picks.

20. Sawx players Varitek and Lester delivered great value here, along with perhaps the highest-upside "Mr. Irrelevant" in any draft ever in Upton.
