1952 Group C

Should have posted this after my 1946 Group B pick

1942 - B
1996 - D

1937 - Group "B"

Having an early pick is definitely a major detriment in these drafts

Well, except for the part where you get to grab one of the best possible seasons in franchise history.

Of course, it all depends on where the drop-off is. I'm sure whoever drew pick #1 for the Yankees would rather have pick #1 than pick #16. Not sure if that's true with pick #2 vs pick #15 or pick #3 vs pick #14 or where the cutoff is.

If you can get a season with five usable pieces in round 1, four usable pieces in round 2, three usable pieces each in rounds 3-4, then the fifth round pick only needs 1 or 2. Every franchise is different.

True, but it's more the gap, especially without a snake between Rounds 2 and 3. Picks 1, 32 and 48 vs picks 16, 17 and 33. I feel like the sweet spot for most franchises will be picks 5-8 in the first round.
