3 Busts
In the event of a re-draft, these three players would drop out of the top-five picks.
| Player | Position | WAR | Actual Pick | Re-Draft Pick | Difference |

| Danny Hultzen | LHP | N/A | 2 | 37 | 35 |
| Bubba Starling | OF | N/A | 5 | 37 | 32 |
| Trevor Bauer | RHP | 0.3 | 3 | 27 | 24 |
Originally top-five picks, both Danny Hultzen and Bubba Starling have yet to play in an MLB game. The highest each player has reached is Triple-A, where Starling currently plays for the Omaha Storm Chasers, an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.
On the other hand, Trevor Bauer has seen decent opportunities in his 95 major league starts, but has gone just 31-34 with a 4.47 ERA in his time with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Indians.
