Homework for February 23
The article on the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft only provides the names of those selected right now. There is no lead section and also no information about how big this draft really was for baseball. The information is in the right order, but there is minimal information to go along with the names of those who were selected in 2001.
 * Yes, there should be a lead that explains what was notable about the draft in that particular year. I look forward to your own draft (of the lead, that is). Josef Horáček (talk) 07:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

New Lead
Every year the Major League Baseball Draft plays a pivotal role in each organization's future. Even though there is no way of knowing who will pan out and who will not, teams have to take chances on players when drafting them. In the article, the focus is on all the players selected in the 1st round of the 2001 Draft. Getting picked in the 1st round is a great accomplishment as a player, but it still does not guarantee your success. 1st round picks usually are the ones that teams project have the best shot at making it to the Big Leagues and also making an impact at that level. They are the elite amateur players whether they be from high school or college. Also included in this article, are players from the 2001 Draft from other rounds that are significant. Players that are selected in lower rounds still have a chance to make it, but they are just less likely to according to the organizations that select them.
