Draft season continues for MLS with the SuperDraft. In today’s event teams will select from a list of college players with a couple former pros eligible as well. Several seniors already have contracts, as do the Generation Adidas players. Here is the list of eligible players, which includes a Seattle Sounders Academy product.
Currently, the Seattle Sounders pick 16, 22, and 44. Winning the MLS Cup has a way of moving you down in the draft order. As a team with two first round picks, they have the flexibility to trade. There are several holes on the roster, the biggest of those is in the central midfield.
The draft starts with expansion sides Minnesota United with who knows now and then Atlanta United.
