Day one of the MLB Draft included the first 77 overall selections. The Cardinals, in addition to their trio of first-round picks, will also make the 70th overall selection that day. Because they posted MLB's best record in 2015, the Cardinals receive the last pick in each subsequent round. Rounds 3–10 will be held on June 10, followed by rounds 11–40 a day later. The Cardinals have not yet announced who they will send to Secaucus to serve as their on-site representative for the event's first day.<a href="#cite_note-236">[236]</a> Because Heyward and Lackey both received qualifying offers and signed with the <a href="/wiki/2016_Chicago_Cubs_season" title="2016 Chicago Cubs season">Chicago Cubs</a> as free agents prior to the 2016 season, the Cardinals were allotted a total of three selections within the first 40 picks.<a href="#cite_note-comppicks-237">[237]</a> Former Cardinals' relief pitcher <a href="/wiki/Randy_Flores" title="Randy Flores">Randy Flores</a> (2004–08) is in his first year as scouting director for any team, and is the fourth scouting director for the club since 2011.

Any team going up to 5 percent over its allotted pool will be taxed at a 75 percent rate on the overage. Overspending beyond 5 percent would cost the team future Draft picks, which the Cardinals are not expected to do. The signing deadline is July 15.<a href="#cite_note-pool-9mil-239">[239]</a> According to one MLB.com columnist, the Cardinals had the second-best draft of the 30 teams, with only the first-pick team in all rounds, <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a>, getting more raw talent and expected signable draftees.<a href="#cite_note-240">[240]</a> With their 42 picks, the Cardinals drafted 16 RHP's, 10 outfielders, 4 LHP's, 3 SS's, 3 C's, 3 2B-men, 2 3B-men, and 1 1B-man.
