I previously looked at the 31 top Ranger Draft picks, but, when looking at it, I also got interested in how productive the average drafts were, and how productive the Various Ranger GMs were. So, I crunched the data and came up with the following lists. All WARs are Baseball-reference.com WAR's.
Please note that some GMs can still improve with time, and it's probably premature to include Daniels. It does show that anyone who expects a fairly short term bump from upcoming drafts will likely be disappointed.
At any rate, here are the lists.
