Keith Law says, in his first mock draft, that Cubs “strongly linked” to this HS OFer in first round.

21. Chicago Cubs: Will Taylor, OF, Dutch Fork (SC) HS

Taylor is the biggest wild card in the draft — he still hasn’t really indicated whether he wants to play baseball or would rather go to Clemson to play football (as a six-foot, 175-pound receiver?), and also isn’t working with an adviser yet, which is very unusual. If he does say “let’s do that baseball,” he’s going to get $2 million-plus, and the Cubs have been strongly linked to him.
