Check out Shelby Miller's player card here.

Keith Law: Cardinals fans can put the torches down -- they took a high-upside player with a big price tag on him. I've been a Miller fan since last summer and he's a clear top-10 talent to me, so great pick at 19.

Jason Churchill: Cardinals get a top-10 talent, top-five for some, at 19. It'll cost them more than slot, but a mid-90s heater and good breaking ball to go with physical projection…great pick, best player on the board sans Scheppers and his medicals.

Best available include Scheppers, Paxton, Stassi, Davidson, Myers.
