The Initial Plunge
First, I needed to get all the info, right? So, I started by pulling up every article, blog post, and expert analysis I could find on the Cubs' draft picks. I mean, I was swimming in browser tabs. Seriously, it was intense.

Next, I had to get organized. I created a massive spreadsheet – columns for each player, their position, school, and all the key stats. Then, the fun part: I started plugging in those grades. Every source had a different take, so I made sure to note who said what. It was like being a detective, piecing together a puzzle.
Deep Dive into the Players
After gathering the basic info, I got into the nitty-gritty. I started researching each player individually. Watched highlight reels, read scouting reports, and even dug into their college or high school stats. I wanted to see for myself what the hype (or lack thereof) was all about.
The Grading Process
- Consistency is Key: I looked for patterns. If multiple analysts were high on a player, that carried more weight. If one source was way off from everyone else, I took that with a grain of salt.
- The Eye Test: This is where the highlight reels came in. Did the player look like a future star? Did they have that "it" factor?
- Positional Need:I also consider that if the team lack of some position,and they choose some great potential player.
- Long-Term Potential: I tried to look beyond the immediate impact. What's the player's ceiling? Are they a boom-or-bust prospect?
Putting It All Together
Finally, I compiled all my research and analysis into one comprehensive overview. I gave my own grades, backed up by all the data and observations I'd collected. It was a long process, a lot of work and checking, but totally worth it to feel like I really understood this draft class.
End up, I got the my own draft grades about cubs,it is a little rough,but I learned a lot during this,and will keep learning.
