The first day of the 2016 First Year Player Draft took place Thursday night with a total of 77 picks being made. The draft will continue with rounds 3-10 on Friday, then conclude with rounds 11-40 on Saturday. The baseball draft is most certainly a marathon, not a sprint.

The Phillies made California high school outfielder Mickey Moniak the first overall pick Thursday night. He's the first prep outfielder selected first overall since Justin Upton in 2005. Make sure you check out our First Round Draft Tracker for analysis of every first- and supplemental first-round pick. Here are 13 takeaways from Day 1 of the draft.

1. Moniak plans to sign quick.

It's not as much of a factor as it once was, but "signability" always plays a role in the draft. Teams try to gauge the player's interest in turning pro and figure out what it'll take to sign him. Moniak expects to sign quickly with the Phillies:

Slot value for the first-overall pick is over $9 million, though Moniak figures to sign for something less than that. Dansby Swanson, the first-overall pick in last year's draft, received a $6.5 million bonus, for example. The Phillies will get Moniak signed, then redirect the draft pool savings to other picks.

2. Senzel had no idea the Reds were in on him.

The Reds selected Tennessee third baseman Nick Senzel with the second-overall selection, and as he tells it, he had no idea Cincinnati was planning to take him.

Scouts from every team will talk to players before the draft just to get to know them. Surely Senzel spoke to a Reds scout at some point this spring ... as well as a ton of scouts from other teams as well. When you're the second pick in the country, everyone wants you, and it can be tough to tell who has the most interest.

3. Anderson received a Mussina comp.

Every team talks up their picks immediately after the draft. Every single one. It's not often you hear a team compare the player they just selected to a borderline Hall of Famer, however.

Braves scouting director Brian Bridges comped righty Ian Anderson, the third overall pick, to longtime big leaguer Mike Mussina. Check it out:

Boy, that's some high praise. I am generally not a fan of dropping comps on players because they create unfair expectations, but Anderson was definitely one of the brightest players in the draft class. He has major upside and perhaps one day can be an ace like Mussina.

4. Puk may have cost himself money Saturday.

In Florida's regionals game again UConn last weekend, lefty A.J. Puk allowed three runs in the fifth inning immediately after his teammates gave him the lead. He could not complete the inning.

Puk was in the conversation to go first overall before Saturday's meltdown, though that fifth inning seems to have left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. There's also this:

Most college starters who get drafted high combine great stats with great stuff. Puk has the great stuff -- he's a 6-foot-7 lefty who has touched the high-90s and has a wipeout slider -- but he's been very inconsistent in his three years with Florida. The Athletics selected Puk sixth overall, so he still went very high, but it could have been even higher if not for Saturday's meltdown.

Oh, and by the way, Puk doesn't know a whole lot about his new employer:

That will change soon. The A's have a pretty good track record of developing pitchers, so Puk is in good hands.

5. Groome falls to the the 12th pick.

High school lefty Jason Groome came into the draft as the consensus No. 1 prospect available. Rumors of big bonus demands and a willingness to go to junior college for a year so he could re-enter the draft next season caused him to slide. It's understandable if teams didn't feel comfortable with his signability.

The Red Sox, never a team to shy away from tough negotiations, grabbed Groome with their first-round pick, the 12th overall selection. Can they sign Groome? Sure, but it means they'll have to go cheap with some of their upcoming picks to save draft pool space. Getting the best player in the draft with the 12th overall pick is tremendous value ... assuming he signs.

By the way, if Groome does not sign, the Red Sox will receive the 13th overall pick in the 2017 draft as compensation. Not a terrible consolation prize, but obviously they would rather have Groome. For what it's worth, Dave Dombrowski has a history of signing tough-to-sign players.

6. Whitley gets cheered off the mound.

For the first time since 2011, the Astros did not have one of the top two picks in the draft. They had the 17th-overall pick, and they used it on Texas high school righty Forrest Whitley, who just so happened to be pitching in a game during the draft. He was cheered off the mound:

That is pretty awesome. I'm not sure the Astros love 123 pitches in 6 2/3 innings, but big workloads are nothing new for amateur players.

After the game Whitley was given Astros gear to celebrate being the team's first-round pick:

Draft day is unquestionably one of the biggest days in a player's life. I wonder if Whitley found out between innings that he been drafted by the Astros or if he had to wait until after the game. Someone had to tell him between innings, right?

7. Cardinals don't shy away from Perez's PED issues.

Each year the Major League Scouting Bureau drug tests their top 200 draft prospects, and earlier this week word got out prep shortstop Delvin Perez tested positive for a banned substance. Perez was, at one point, considered a potential top-10 pick. The PED news dropped him to the Cardinals with the 23rd pick, the final pick of the first round.

Teams have shown time and time again they will overlook failed PED tests or other off-the-field issues if the player can play, and Perez can play, so the Cardinals grabbed him. The failed test is going to cost Perez millions in bonus money, but he is still a first-round pick. St. Louis is betting his natural athleticism and no-doubt shortstop tools will hold up without chemical enhancement.

Perez is not eligible to be suspended for failing a pre-draft drug test, in case you're wondering.

8. White Sox grab instant bullpen help?

The White Sox are not shy about bringing pitchers through the minors quickly -- Chris Sale and Carlos Rodon reached the show less than a year after being drafted -- so it only makes sense that Chicago took Louisville righty Zack Burdi, who is considered the most big-league-ready player in the draft.

Burdi is a power reliever with a fastball that routinely touches 100 mph, and like they did with Sale years ago, the ChiSox could add him to their bullpen just a few weeks after the draft. This wasn't necessarily a pick designed to address a need at the major-league level -- Burdi was a borderline first-round talent and the White Sox nabbed him the 26th pick -- but it is a pick that could help the team in the AL Central this year, not two or three years down the line.

9. Hudson falls into Cardinals' lap.

Coming into the draft, Mississippi State righty Dakota Hudson had a chance to go in the top 10. There was talk he could go as high as eight or nine. Instead, Hudson fell to the Cardinals with the 34th-overall pick, the compensation pick they received for losing Jason Heyward to free agency.

An argument can be made -- rather easily, too -- that Hudson was the second-best college starter in the 2016 draft class behind Puk. For whatever reason, teams just kept calling the names of other players. Their loss is St. Louis' gain. The Cardinals landed one of the better players in the draft at a point when he had no business being on the board.

10. Padres lead the way with five picks.

A total of 77 picks were made Thursday night and the Padres had the most of any team with five. Those five include their first-rounder, the compensation picks for Ian Kennedy and Justin Upton, their second-rounder, and their competitive balance pick. Here is who San Diego selected with those picks:

First Round (8th overall): Stanford RHP Cal Quantrill
Supp. First Round (24th overall): Texas HS SS Hudson Sanchez
Supp. First Round (25th overall): Kent State LHP Eric Lauer
Second Round (48th overall): Florida OF Buddy Reed
Comp. Balance Round B (71st overall): California HS RHP Reggie Lawson

Quantrill is an interesting pick because he did not pitch this season at all. He had Tommy John surgery last spring and opted not to pitch this year, leading to speculation he had cut a pre-draft deal. The Padres, with all those extra picks, made sense. They could sign Quantrill cheap then redirect the draft pool savings elsewhere.

That's very well what might happen, but San Diego did not select players who figure to receive overslot bonuses with the four picks after Quantrill. They grabbed guys who are expected to sign slot value deals. That isn't to say they had a bad draft. That's hardly the case. It's just that their strategy was unexpected. They appeared poised to shoot for the moon with some picks and take high-upside high schoolers, especially with those 24th and 25th picks. That didn't happen.

11. The Cubs are still waiting to join the party.

The Cubbies forfeited both their first and second round draft picks to sign John Lackey and Heyward over the winter, so they were the only team without a pick Thursday night. They'll join the draft fun when the third round begins Friday.

Needless to say, not having a first- and second- round pick makes for a thin draft. Then again, when you're in win-now mode like Chicago, giving up picks to sign established major league players who can help put you over the top is 100 percent the right move. The Cubs didn't have a first- or second-round pick, and their fans should be happy about that.

12. The Gators were well represented on Day 1.

The University of Florida consistently has one of the best baseball programs in the country. On Thursday they had five players selected on day one of the draft. Here's the list:

LHP A.J. Puk, first round (6th overall) to A's
RHP Dane Dunning, supp. first round (29th overall) to Nationals
RHP Logan Shore, second round (47th overall) to A's
OF Buddy Reed, second round (48th overall) to Padres
1B Pete Alonso, second round (64th overall) to Mets

Shore was Florida's ace ahead of Puk, and the Gators are so loaded with arms that Dunning wasn't even in their regular rotation. He did most of his work out of the bullpen.

Several other Florida players will come off the board in the later rounds of the draft. Righty Shaun Anderson and lefty Scott Moss both figure to hear their names called at some point during Day 2 on Friday.

13. The Mets are excellent at trolling.

Each team had representatives at the MLB Network studios in New Jersey for the draft broadcast. Among those representatives: former Mets closer John Franco and former Yankees ace Andy Pettitte.

Quality trolling by the Mets there. We definitely all remember Pettitte for his time with the Astros, not his cup of coffee in the Bronx.
