The MLS SuperDraft, like many other professional drafts used in the American sports landscape, is a mechanism created to help distribute the best college soccer players among professional teams in a way that encourages parody. Typically, new teams and teams who performed poorly in the previous season will pick first, while the better performing clubs pick later on.
