From the time he took over as Sporting Kansas City’s technical director after the 2006 season through 2012, Peter Vermes was arguably the best drafter of talent in Major League Soccer’s general manager ranks. During those years, the current core of the team pretty much all came from the SuperDraft: Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza, Dom Dwyer, Benny Feilhaber*, and the now-free agent Chance Myers. Additionally, solid MLS pros Michael Harrington, Teal Bunbury, and C.J. Sapong were all Vermes SuperDraft picks.
*While Feilhaber obviously wasn’t selected by Sporting in a SuperDraft, the club did give up SuperDraft picks to get him from the New England Revolution—and considering the Revolution used the draft picks in the Feilhaber trade on Patrick Mullins (whom they lost a year later in the expansion draft to NYCFC) and Sean Okoli (who made five total appearances for NER and was released), it’s fair to say that Sporting won that trade by a country mile.
