Larry Bowa is probably the best non-first rounder (went in the early 60s).

Sure enough, Matt Harvey appears to be the breakout star from the draft class: in his first three starts, he allowed 1 run and just 9 hits in 28 innings, include a 1-hit shutout in his third start, where he took a no-hitter into the ninth.
