Orlando City SC starts the draft off at 9:30 AM Pacific with the chance to pick unanimous #1 Cyle Larin, or swap out. The 2015 MLS Draft is light on talent, but heavy on intrigue. There are twenty-one picks in each round, even though there are only twenty teams. Prior to folding Chivas USA traded some of their picks away and those teams retain the picks they acquired.
Toronto has three first round picks, as do Sporting KC. Teams like Seattle Sounders FC may be able to trade up to acquire one of those. There are four UW Huskies eligible in this draft, with three expected to go on this first day of the draft.
