The first night of the draft saw the Mets get a steal in Georgia Tech catcher Kevin Parada at No. 11. New York then took Jett Williams, a high school shortstop, at No. 14 overall with their second pick of the first-round. In the second-round, they selected Tennessee Volunteers right-hander Blade Tidwell at No. 52 overall and Gonzaga Prep outfielder Nick Morabito at No. 75 (compensation pick for Noah Syndergaard leaving for Angels). 

On Day 2, the Mets made eight picks between rounds 3-10, highlighted by hard-throwing righty Brandon Sproat, who they selected at No. 90 overall from the University of Florida. 

While the Mets are certainly in win-now mode under deep-pocketed owner Steve Cohen, they're also focused on player development and retooling their farm system to build a sustainable winner. This year's draft will help replenish the Mets' minor league system, given the plethora of talent they selected.
