Welcome to the RotoWire Prospect podcast.

I'm your host James Anderson, and I got a great show for you.

As always, the week of the draft, we'll be doing a mock dynasty first year player draft.

We'll be having my top 400 prospect rankings updated on Friday.

Use the code YouTube 15.

You get 15% off road wire if you want to check those out.

But I got Chris Clegg with me.

I got Eric Cross with me.

And we are going to pick 24 players or so.

So roughly two rounds, one and a half rounds or so of a first year player draft.

And Chris Clegg, you have the first pick here.

So the board is yours, man.

Who are you going to go with?

Let's preface it by saying to think this is the worst year to have the first overall pick.

There's just no consensus. So it'll be interesting to see. I've not looked at anybody's, uh, FYPD rankings

other than my own, but, you know, putting mine out, I got a lot of feedback and people don't love

who I have number one, but that's okay. And I have Eli Willits there. I had him there before the draft. So this is not a decision that I made because he was taken number one. I put out the rankings Friday before the draft had Willits there. It's interesting because I think you can go so many different ways. With Willits, it feels like the safer bet. But again, we are talking about a 17 and a half year old. So he's very young.

He think his youngest player ever to be taken 1-1, one of the youngest players drafted in general.

But I look at Willits. I see safety and the hit tool. I see plus speed. And Cineum already

gets some power. And I think you see a frame where he has still room to add some strength.

The differentiator for me with Willits is like, what did you do on the showcase?

Last summer, 16-year-old on the showcase circuit, he ran a 90% contact rate.
