Back in 2008, Chance Myers was the first overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft coming out of UCLA. Ironically, it may be the first round pick in the 2017 SuperDraft that officially puts an end to Myers playing for Sporting Kansas City ever again.
Just yesterday, Colton Storm, a defender from the University of North Carolina, was drafted with the 14th overall pick by Sporting KC. In college, Storm lined up as a defender. Sometimes he was a center back, but that was usually in a situation where there were only three defenders in the back.
