    And the Brewers were the only team to send scouts to see Knoth?? Before he shut himself down for his team's playoffs? https://greaterlongisland.com/patchogue-medfords-josh-knoth-signs-2m-deal-with-milwaukee/

    It's a safer strategy to be sure. You're sacrificing potential upside for the offer in hand, though you still have the ability to negotiate another deal (possibly better) in case the Brewers pass at the pick. You're also saving your client potential anxiety from waiting and maybe your client wants to develop in the Brewers org. Looking at the specific numbers, Knoth basically got pick 43 money at pick 33. But there are also teams after 43 that could've offered $2m+ as an overslot deal as well. And the Brewers picked again at 54 ($1.5461m) and likely didn't think he would be there. As an advisor, you have to feel pretty comfortable that the other teams don't value your client as highly as the Brewers, difficult to know in the heat of the draft. The risk/reward and the math have to work (often the case at the top of the draft). It's a bit like getting an offer for your house and deciding to take it, instead of listing it on the market. In general, HS players usually want to sign overslot deals after the first 20 picks or so. Of course, there are only so many overslot deals to be had.
