You might want to look in the mirror to see who's being sensitive here, like you can't accept the fact that not everyone wants to burn the FO down.
They mucked up Josh Anthony's stuff, but it really doesn't have bearing on top-10 picks.
Picks 11+ are drafted without really exact ideas on how much they'll sign for; the top-10 picks must be vetted and planned out much more carefully. They really aren't that comparable.

Justin Morhardt (22nd) confirmed yes on his Twitter page. Not assuming all the seniors are on board; wanting a confirmation on each.
Morhardt (Bryan College, Dayton, Tenn.) one of only two Chattanooga area players drafted this year.
Not bragging, but we are slaughtering the other sites' signing lists. Not making anything up, either.

The point was that the FO screwed up a financial decision in last year's draft.
They also screwed something up with regards to a roster situation last year as well.
They've proven a few times they don't know all the rules. so I'm not ready to blindly assure myself that they handle everything correctly.
Again, I was not concerned that they would screw it up. But I acknowledge that they're clearly capable of it.
Fair.
I just tend to think it would be so difficult to muck up the top-10 that its not worth worrying about. Nobody messes it up and yet every year there's people who fret about it. Last year it was Neslony (IIRC) that people were worried might cost too much. These teams do too much due diligence on their top picks, its not willy-nilly. When they sign a guy like Tarnok for overslot, it should make people feel better, they aren't giving him $1.4million at this point unless they know what they are signing everyone else for.
Wait. People were worried that something would happen that has. Ever happened before in the history of the game. Lol.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
John Curtis (8th), lefty closer type and a senior, has indicated he's come to terms and was on his way over the weekend.
No shock here -- Jason Rooks (35th) has reaffirmed his commitment to Ga. Tech. According to MaxPreps, he has "decommitted" to the Braves!

Grand Canyon OF Garrison Schwartz has signed for $125K.
I guess Bacon was underslot.
I render all Bacon puns obsolete.

Braves signed their 6th round pick for $5k and their 7th for $1k.
Has anyone ever seen such tiny bonuses for guys taken that high? I thought $10k was as low as these bonuses typically got.
