And FWIW (also not much) I agree with how the college prospects currently line up on your list.  Any idiot would want Rendon if they can get him.  I'm hoping there's an idiot or two in the Pirates org who realize their dearth of good pitching prospects in the upper minors is more important than all the pitching talent they've stockpiled in the low minors and bites on Cole or Purke, but it's a slim shot.
Otherwise, at #2 I would expect us to go with Cole over Purke or Gray if the draft were tomorrow.  Gray is short, which apparently means worthless, and Purke has a motion that makes some people wince.  Cole looks like a #1 starter, throws like a #1 starter...he appears to be the safest choice of all the arms, and potentially the best as well.
I think Purke's stuff may be nastier and he likely has better control of it, but having your #2 pick blow his arm out is the fear of everyone who drafts pitching that high.  And it's not like Cole is somehow in another universe from his cohorts.
He and Purke are very good talents.  Neither is a David Price / Stephen Strasburg.
Still, I'd love a really good #2-#3 starter who might be ready in a year or two to join the ML rotation.
With our apparent signing of Paxton, that'll be another arm for the mix.  The more top arms we can find, the merrier.
