Last year, Orlando City traded away all of its SuperDraft picks, save for one that was used to pick up Danny Deakin. Originally, it looked like Deakin was going to be a good fit for the Lions, but he never fell into Jason Kreis’ plans and ended up signing a USL contract with Orlando City B after initially signing an MLS deal.
The Lions traded away all of their other picks. The biggest pick-up in exchange for those selections was Donny Toia, trading away the eighth overall pick to Atlanta, which used it to draft eventual 2017 MLS Rookie of the Year Julian Gressel.
