5 names for Whitecaps fans to track in the MLS SuperDraft

Predicting the MLS SuperDraft is the rough equivalent of reading tea leaves. The event, slated to take place January 17-21, is notorious for unforeseen trades and seemingly random picks. Partly this is because anything MLS must be as complicated as possible but also because NCAA soccer players are difficult to evaluate outside of the elite prospects. With more and more of those players electing to sign Homegrown deals with pro teams (or going to Europe), the draft pool has gradually become less and less deep, making the SuperDraft much less important than it was ten or 5 years ago.
