Best player taken per round 2017-2022 minor league drafts

I waived my 2022 1st round pick a couple of days ago. Made me realize I suck at drafting players. Brent also made a comment about a 10th round future all-star.........so I went back to the drafts that are still available on the forum page and found the best player for each round in the past drafts. (I used whatever WAR number I found usually)

I don't recall how many times I tried to acquire McKay from you, but it was a lot. I also bought a ton of  rookie baseball cards of his that were not cheap, that are worth jack squat today. I definitely feel like I should take the L on that one as well.
