Notice Doyle points out that NYC has no wide play. I agree. He also spelled Lampard wrong. Ha

Are wingert and Williams known as overlapping fullbacks?

Both certainly tried to be. Wingert's problem is he has lost a step with age. Williams isn't quite there yet with precision in the final third. Not sure about Brovsky, I think likes to stay closer to midfield.

With the signing of Mix and the possible signing of Javier Calle does that change who we take? I know most analysts have us taking Roldan, but our midfield is deep and I think taking a CB would be a better decision.

I actually hope we still draft Roldan and let him develop and learn. I don't want to be like the Yankees and disregard the notion of developing young talent.

However I really am getting the idea that we're trading this pick. I'd rather they stay and draft but oh well. #InKreisITrust

I like YOUNG talent. I don't think 22 year olds with limited upside is the best way to spend development resources. That said, if you get a GA player who you don't have to count against the cap, you do it.

Dom is kind of old. Maybe we can trick him into giving us Tom Thom so he can draft someone capable of completing a pass in the midfield.

Jason said yesterday that they are listening to trade offers.

Didn't he say that they were looking for trade offers for their second round pick?

After the Mix portion of the story it does say that Kreis expects the team to keep the first round pick.

If you want to waste some time on this piece of shit mock draft go right ahead. Poorly researched mock draft. NBC really did a shit job with this.

I would like Leo Stolz, but only if all the questions of him going to Europe etc were ironed out. I think Roldan is too perfect to pass up on for us.

 

[Kubah]

I like Roldan at #2. Solid prospect with a Generation Adidas contract.

The guy I would like to pick up later in the draft is Dzenan Catic. This guy sounds like a good fit up front. Looks like he would be a 1st rounder though

 

[Kjbert]

Catic has risen up draft boards while Martin Del Campo has dropped.

 

[SayWhat44]

I would love Roldan he's perfect for Kreis #allinonroldan

 

[BlueWarrior]

Catic has risen up draft boards while Martin Del Campo has dropped.

would be awesome if del campo can fall to us.

Roldan and del campo = solid drafts
