6 hours ago6 hr I’m surprised KLaw didn’t think it would be Roch. Despite the buzz at the Combine, it seems he was their guy since they won the lottery.

Maybe Radel.I think that makes more sense than Thome. College juniors are obviously much harder to float to a specific pick, so makes more sense if there is a college arm they love and were aggressive in increasing their chances in getting him.
