I actually think the early season hype is massively overrating Gerrit Cole. Hes been way too hittable to be a top 2 pick and shouldn't really even be in the discussion. Rendon clearly still belongs in the top 2, and I'd still have him #1 if the shoulder clears.
And really Rendon and Cole just haven't delivered this year. Rendon hasn't followed up on his past couple seasons and Cole has been downright medicore (worse than the past couple years despite the new bats). There is a ton of depth this year, but it didn't end up being a top heavy draft as the pre-season hype indicated. There are no Strasburgs or Harpers. If Ackley were in this draft class, he'd probably be taken #1.
