Below is my final mock draft (Round 1, including compensation picks, and round 2 through BOS's pick) on behalf of SoxProspects.com, with some notes.
1st round
1. HOU - RHP Jonathan Gray, Oklahoma (either Gray or Appel, unless they cut a deal with Moran)
2. CHC - RHP Mark Appel, Stanford (takes whichever pitcher HOU doesn't take, Theo can work with Boras)
3. COL - 3B/OF Kris Bryant, San Diego (easiest pick in the draft)
4. MIN - RHP Kohl Stewart, St. Pius X HS (TX) (I believe any other name but Stewart is a smokescreen, but rumored to be seriously looking at McGuire)
5. CLE - 3B Colin Moran, North Carolina (rumored to be selecting between Frazier and Moran but hoping for Stewart)
6. MIA - RHP Braden Shipley, Nevada (rumored to be going college, but also rumored to be looking to cut a deal with Meadows, Crawford, McGuire or Peterson)
7. BOS - OF Clint Frazier, Loganville HS (GA) (takes top talent, reportedly wants Moran, Stewart or Frazier)
8. KC - LHP Trey Ball, New Castle HS (IN) (reportedly wants pitching; if Shipley falls he's probably the pick, Bickford is rising and is a possibility)
9. PIT - C Reese McGuire, Kentwood HS (WA) (reportedly wants HS bat)
10. TOR - OF Austin Meadows, Grayson HS (GA) (takes top talent, Ball a possibility if available)
11. NYM - 3B/OF D.J. Peterson, New Mexico (reportedly wants bat, with Meadows, Peterson and Renfroe the top choices)
12. SEA - SS J.P. Crawford, Lakewood HS (CA) (reportedly wants HS bat or college arm, would jump on McGuire if available, Stanek a possibility)
13. SD - 1B Dominic Smith, Serra HS (CA) (reportedly wants West Coast-based HS bat)
14. PIT - OF Hunter Renfroe, Mississippi State (reportedly wants a college bat with this pick)
15. ARI - RHP Ryne Stanek, Arkansas (reportedly would take one of the bats if they drop, ceiling for Gonzalez, Judge)
16. PHI - RHP Phil Bickford, Oaks Christian HS (CA) (Smith would likely be the choice if he falls)
17. CWS - RHP Alex Gonzalez, Oral Roberts (had Jagielo here but Gonzalez has too much helium)
18. LAD - LHP Ian Clarkin, James Madison HS (CA) (expected to take HS pitcher, with Bickford, Harvey and Krook also possibilities)
19. STL - SS Tim Anderson, East Central CC (MS) (looking for toolsy players)
20. DET - OF Phillip Ervin, Samford (looking for toolsy players)
21. TB - C Nick Ciuffo, Lexington HS (SC) (could also be Denney or Gonzales, depending on who they think will drop to #29)
22. BAL - RHP Hunter Harvey, Bandys HS (NC) (a bit of a wild card, looks like BPA)
23. TEX - 3B Eric Jagielo, Notre Dame (reportedly looking for bats)
24. OAK - OF Aaron Judge, Fresno State (the run on toolsy players continues)
25. SF - RHP Matt Krook, St. Ignatius HS (CA) (Bickford, Balog and Harvey are also possibilities)
26. MFY - LHP Rob Kaminsky, St. Joseph HS (NJ) (Cannot pass up local kid Kaminsky)
27. CIN - RHP Chris Anderson, Jacksonville (Will take Kaminsky if he falls to them)
1st round compensation round

30. TEX - OF Billy McKinney, Plano West HS (TX)
31. ATL - OF Josh Hart, Parkview HS (GA)
32. MFY - OF Austin Wilson, Stanford
33. MFY - C Jonathan Denney, Yukon HS (OK)
Competitive balance round A
34. KC - LHP Sean Manaea, Indiana State (they take the chance on Manaea in this spot, willing to negotiate with Boras, wouldn't be surprised if #34 were traded)
35. MIA - SS Oscar Mercado, Gaither HS (FL) (pick cannot be traded again)
36. ARI - SS Riley Unroe, Desert Ridge HS (AZ)
37. BAL - RHP Alex Balog, San Francisco (Balog was a possiblity at #22)

2nd round
