I have no complaints about the draft except for passing on Brecht at #32. Our scouts (or someone) liked O'Ferrall, it is what it is. Alssup at #127, I like that he throws 100. Would like to see more draft picks spent on guys like that. The Yankees drafted in the 5th Round a guy that throws 103, but without any command whatsoever. 

I honestly think the O's probably see guys who throw 100 out of college as pretty high probability to need TJ surgery during their developmental years. Think Seth Johnson. It creates not just risk on the player, but future 40-man roster risk for arms that haven't had the development time that you don't want to give up on.

Benge signed for a little more than 200K under slot. 
 

Honeycutt should give the team 300-600k in savings (at least)
