2016 Mls College Superdraft
- Thread starter franchise646
- Start date
Obviously you can't make a solid judgement on watching one game, but the 'keeper for Creighton (Connor Sparrow) made some acrobatic saves against Georgetown last Sunday. I did a quick google search and (FWIW) he's the 85th ranked college player in the country and the #1 rated GK in the Big East.
Since GK isn't necessarily a problem for us I wouldn't burn a high pick for him, but I guess he does fit the profile for the discussion at hand.

We traded away our second, third, and fourth round picks for the Kreis Komfort Blanket players. If we are not looking at our first rounder, the discussion is moot.
On the other hand I feel like something very important isn't restated enough. MLS is not like the NFL nor the NBA, the draft in general is not nearly as important. And the draft becomes less and less important every year because of the strides US soccer/MLS is making in creating European style youth academies.
A first rounder will be someone you might expect to start for your team after a year or two. Though draftees in the top 5 tend to break that rule of thumb. Players who are selected in the fourth round typically will never play for a MLS team. Fourth rounders are typically lucky to get past the first few days of training camp.

Must take a GA player to leverage the benefit of the non-Cap Hit.
Only the top 20 players count against the cap. None of our draftees counted against the cap this year.
Not sure how that's possible with Shelton as there are 10 guys with lower salaries than his $70K

I quickly counted wrong but at the same time the difference between khiry salary and #21 was less than 5-7k. We should pick BPA. GA is nice but I wouldn't restrict us to just GA players.

Saunders is a good GK yes, and we need good defenders but I think pacey wingers would be so useful

You can loan onana from us. But then he must be 1st choice otherwise ajax wouldn't want to.
interesting article. will take a look at this when draft time comes i guess, its really hard for me to sort of get a sense of who is good fit or not for our teams, and the whole combine thing is all iffy to me as a parameter to see players.
also since college games are pretty hard to find it makes it worse. Still just hope we get someone we can definitely use during the season.
denied? whats that mean? i thought if he was in your academy a year hes yours? is this not correct?
I think the player can decide not to sign a homegrown contract and enter the draft. I'm guessing that is what "denied" means. But this is just speculation.
