Q&A: A SuperDraft Preview with General Manager Craig Waibel

On Friday, Real Salt Lake holds the 17th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft in Chicago. After already signing five Academy products for the 2019 season – Julian Vazquez, Luis Arriaga, David Ochoa, Tate Schmitt and Erik Holt – RSL has a slew of young talent joining the ranks to supplement the addition of midfielder Everton Luiz and the returns of Luke Mulholland and Tony Beltran after injuries limited the veteran pair in 2018. With all of that added to a roster that made a run to the Western Conference Semifinals, the picture is beginning to take shape for 2019 as preseason approaches.
