With success consistently escaping the majority of homegrown players (unless you’re FC Dallas), the MLS SuperDraft is still the easiest way to acquire young talent to contribute to your roster. As is the case in any draft, every player is somewhat of an unknown until they either start producing at the professional level or fall flat on their face.
The Union first participated in the draft in 2010 as they prepared for their expansion season. Like most clubs, the blue-and-gold have had their fair share of good picks, as well as a handful of picks that failed miserably.
