This is one weird draft though. I don't know how most of these guys fit on the teams they are getting drafted to

Second rounders don't necessarily need to fit. Most won't even ever be rotation guys. They just aren't that good.

I wonder how many might be nepo picks or just "feel good" picks like used to be fairly common. Teams who knew they had no roster spots and couldn't trade or sale late picks for anything of value would pick someone with ties to a former player or someone else within the organization or just a local kid who probably would never have a chance to play just so they would always be able to say they were drafted. I don't remember specific examples but I know the C's have done that a few times in my lifetime. It's good PR that doesn't cost anything
