From a 1991 issue of Baseball Cards Magazine, the #1 player on their "C-C-C-Cold List":
1. [name of guy the Braves had to settle for instead of Todd Van Powell]: While Todd Van Powell laughs all the way to the bank, the Braves are stuck with someone who will never become a Major League star. This #1 pick has to fulfill a lot of expectations before his cards get Hot.
The article the OP showed happens to mention who that nobody from Jacksonville the Braves had to "settle for". This is what's known as missing out on a future draft bust and instead accidentally landing a draft steal.
