Orlando City will take part in its ninth MLS SuperDraft on Wednesday evening as it looks to strengthen its squad to surpass the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs. Much of the team is already in place as Orlando brought in and re-signed some pieces during the off-season. But the draft allows the team to add younger players and build for the future. So what will Orlando City do with its picks?
Once the best way to bring in young talent, the draft doesn’t hold the same importance it once did. The best college-aged players today join academies at younger ages, allowing them to sign Homegrown deals and skip the event.
