Good morning! Freedom Kicks are early because we have some thoughts on D.C. United’s draft coming up at 9am, and Hernán Losada will be speaking to media at 11am. To avoid an information pile-up, this is running early.
Also, I hope this makes sense, because I’m writing it with Draft Brain, a condition that can end with incoherent thoughts or trailing off into...uh...you know the thing where you have nothing else to say but can’t conclude your thought? Right.
So let’s do this!

Yours truly delivered the blow-by-blow as United took players that weren’t really on my radar for our picks, or anyone else’s really.
