Colon is a good talent, but I don't see him as elite. The thing is, is that many well respected publications are kinda torn on him. He has no tool that really stands out(other than his fielding where he has quick hands and good footwork and projects to stick at SS), but his instincts and makeup are off the charts. Thats fantastic, but the team that chooses him over one of these extremely high ceiling arms I dont think would be in the top 3(unless we do for "signability" of course). With guys like Harper, Taillon, Cole, Whitson, Covey, Ranaudo around, I just don't see him going in the top 3. IMO he would slot in perfectly around slot 5-9 if teams happened to choose BPA (which doesn't happen much these days). Of course, we are so far out from the draft anything can happen, but with the available talent especially among the preps, there will be a few better available players IMO.....
