The first two rounds of the MLS draft were on Friday. In an effort to be as much like the NFL as possible, the league has made the draft into an Event. It now takes two days spread across an entire weekend to conduct the draft. Last year, there were maybe five players from the draft who made an impact with their team. Julian Gressel, Abu Danladi, Jack Elliot, and Niko Hansen were about the only players taken that were relevant in 2017. Some players might develop and break into their teams down the line, but of the 88 potential picks last year there were 7 times where teams just didn’t pick anyone and selected to pass.
