2024 MLB mock draft 3.1: Kiley McDaniel's final predictions

The 2024 MLB draft begins at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, and that means it is time for one final update as teams lock in their Day 1 plans.

The intrigue starts right at the top this year, as the Cleveland Guardians have a difficult decision to make with the first overall pick in a draft featuring a strong group of college players in contention to come off the board first. What will the Guardians do -- and how will the Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies follow with the No. 2 and No. 3 picks?

Since this is a last-minute look at what teams could do Sunday night, my writeups here are focused on what has changed since the previous edition. You can find a more detailed look at each team's strategy in my Mock Draft 3.0. And remember, this is the order in which I think the picks will come off the board, while my rankings are the order in which I'd pick the players.
