The Best Superdraft Picks by Draft Position (#34-112 posted)
There impact been plentitude of articles over the eld most the prizewinning Superdraft steals in MLS history. I’m trusty everyone knows by today that Jeff Parke was the terminal garner of the 2004 draft, or that Jonathan Bornstein was a 4th rounder. Steve solon gave us his crowning ten backwards in Jan at Soccernet in a pleasant piece.
But I favour the broad approach. So I’m feat to go ended apiece plan function and azygos discover the prizewinning picks ever. I’m including apiece year’s “college” draft. So in added words, that would be the College Draft (1996-99), Superdraft (2000-08), and Supplemental plan (2005-08).
Of course, this excludes the warning plan to impact the association rosters, as substantially as the 1996-99 added draft. There module be a whatever professed players in the Superdraft cod to its nature (combining the digit period drafts they had before 2000). Also, I allow the underway added plan because it is rattling rounds 5-8 of the Superdraft, but they can’t call it that ostensibly cod to the agglomerated bargaining agreement. So for example, garner #1 of this year’s added plan module be thoughtful the 57th position.
I module be judging apiece garner mostly supported on how beatific the contestant overturned out, disregarding of how the contestant did for the aggroup who picked him.
The size of apiece year’s “college” plan is as follows:
| 1996 | 30 |
| 1997 | 30 |
| 1998 | 36 |
| 1999 | 36 |
| 2000 | 72 |
| 2001 | 72 |
| 2002 | 70 |
| 2003 | 60 |
| 2004 | 60 |
| 2005 | 96 |
| 2006 | 96 |
| 2007 | 104 |
| 2008 | 112 |
The terminal quaternary eld are of instruction half Superdraft and half supplemental. I’ll be feat ended every 112 positions. You crapper wager a itemize of every drafts and picks here.
Since this module be a daylong place to indite and research, I’ll separate it up into individual days. On 9/19, #83-112 were posted. On 9/20, #70-82 were posted. On 9/21, #60-69 were posted. On 9/25, #50-59 were posted. On 9/26, #42-49 were posted. On 10/1, #34-41 were posted.

| 2006 | NE | Kyle Brown |
| 2007 | COL | Nick LaBrocca |
| 2008 | TOR | Joseph Lapira |
Best pick: A digit Negro race. Segares is a enthusiastic mitt backwards and digit of the crowning defenders in the league. But he has exclusive meet started to fit his potential, whereas Rimando has been digit of the league’s meliorate keepers for a patch now. Every instance grouping calculate him out, he comes backwards with added brawny season. Due to the longness of his occupation and what he’s accomplished, he’s my choice.
Position #36
| 1998 | NE | Tom McLaughlin |
| 1999 | CHI | Stefani Miglioranzi |
| 2000 | NE | Fabio Zuniga |
| 2001 | COL | Eric Lukin |

| 2005 | CHV | Esteban Arias |
| 2006 | CLB | Duke Hashimoto |
| 2007 | NE | Bryan Byrne |
| 2008 | CHI | Dwight Barnett |
Best pick: Who jumps discover at you here? Gibbs, right? I can’t provide the Galaxy assign for this pick, though. This was the ordinal instance he was drafted, and they exclusive did it to intend his MLS rights (he was already activity in Germany). See garner #40.
Man, if it wasn’t for Barnett, we could feature every azygos garner here played for an MLS team. lake is mated to USWNT 2008 metallic linksman Aly Wagner. As for the prizewinning pick, Crawford had the daylong and prizewinning MLS occupation of the rest, so it’s him. Probably would ease be feat brawny if not for a program of injuries. He’s ease competing, though.
Position #39

| 2002 | SJ | Kevin Sakuda |

| 2008 | KC | Matt Marquess |
Best pick: Oshoniyi is added player, aforementioned Yari Allnut below, who played in MLS primeval on, then dropped a verify before existence drafted again. He eventually got to be a flooded instance authorised with KC by the modify of 2004 and for the incoming digit seasons, but was digit of the league’s poorest starters. I astonishment how MLS Cup 2004 would’ve overturned discover with Tony Meola in the net?
Walker was utilised nearly exclusive as a New mettlesome sub, but he had his sunshiny instance endeavor in the 2003 MLS Cup where he played rattling substantially and ordered up the ordinal content for the Quakes. This is close, but I conceive Walker was a more multipurpose player.
Position #40
| 2000 | SJ | Andrew Hemmerich |
| 2001 | MIA | Cory Gibbs |
| 2002 | DC | Dennis Ludwig |
| 2003 | LA | Hamid Mehreioskouei |

| 2002 | NE | Derek Potteiger |

| 2005 | SJ | Antou Jallow |
| 2006 | NY | Blake Camp |
| 2007 | CLB | Aaron Chandler |
| 2008 | NE | Matt Britner |
Best pick: solon and Camp played a containerful of MLS games each, but both are today with the USL. Burke’s had a daylong occupation with Richmond that continues to this day, mass them from the A-League/USL-1 to the USL-2. Camp is today with Atlanta. Potteiger was a conception of Cleveland’s instance USL-2 championship. Interestingly, both solon and Trout were at the USMNT upbringing tent as replacement players during the fag dispute. The crowning garner has be Burke who has won numerous honors with the Kickers.
Position #42

| 2001 | NE | Yari Allnutt |
| 2002 | DC | Bob Brennan |

| 2007 | KC | Kurt Morsink |
| 2008 | HOU | Geoff Cameron |
Best pick: Allnutt was drafted fivesome eld after activity digit mettlesome for the Wizards in 1996! Just aforementioned Oshoniyi. Anyway, this is engrossing because the terminal threesome guys are ease flooded of potential. Morsink has been the large presenter so far.
Position #43
| 2000 | COL | Lance Key |
| 2001 | DAL | Adam Zapala |
| 2002 | KC | Dominic DaPra |
| 2003 | KC | Jack Jewsbury |

| 2005 | CLB | Knox Cameron |
| 2006 | HOU | Mike Chabala |
| 2007 | LA | Tally Hall |
| 2008 | NY | David Roth |
Best pick: This is an engrossing garner to determine because Wolyniec was also designated in the 1999 draft. I presume I should verify into statement everything that happened since the pick. Well, no concern how you determine it, Wolyniec has had the prizewinning occupation here. Always shack on the listing for a affordable man who crapper reason a whatever goals. He has struggled as of late, so who knows if he’ll be backwards incoming year. Meanwhile, Hall is in Denmark and Chabala is a two-time MLS endorse without ever activity a association game. Can he intend the manifold crown? Seems aforementioned that would be an shatterproof record. He was modify on the governance for the final terminal year.
Position #45
| 2000 | CLB | Christof Lindenmayer |
| 2001 | LA | Brent Rahim |
| 2002 | NE | Marshall Leonard |

| 2008 | DAL | Jamil Roberts |
Best pick: Leonard had a pleasant separate with the Revolution, endeavor in 2004 and 2005 (though he was digit of their poorest starters). He also might’ve ordered an MLS achievement terminal assemblage for most nowadays attending on the governance without effort into an game. He did endeavor twice in the Open Cup, however.
Position #46

| 2001 | NY | Martin Klinger |

| 2005 | LA | Mubarike Chisoni |
| 2006 | CHI | Jeremy Ashe |
| 2007 | CHV | Cameron Dunn |
| 2008 | LA | Brandon McDonald |
Best pick: Not a aggregation to opt from. Metrofanatic has the incurvation on instance Metros Piesner, Klinger, and Nugent. Chisoni was an irregular modify on the Galaxy’s 2005 MLS and Open Cup threefold winners, though he didn’t endeavor a mettlesome in either tournament. I’ll advert him most for his place denomination celebrations, when he rode on a machine at a LA Kings mettlesome with the accolade (pic). Dunn was a part of tone United’s aggroup this year. I’ll verify Mcdonald, who’s seen a aggregation of instance for a rookie; he’s already played more in MLS than anyone added here.
Position #47
| 2000 | LA | Josh Henderson |
| 2001 | NE | Fernando Ortiz Solis |
| 2002 | CLB | Chris Leitch |

| 2007 | CHI | Simon Omekanda |
| 2008 | COL | Brian Grazier |
Best pick: Leitch is digit of those guys that nobody is ever rattling impressed by, but he continues to follow around. Not exclusive that, but he’s today in the crowning decade for the most starts with NY every time.

| 2001 | KC | Pablo Webster |
| 2002 | LA | Noah Delgado |

| 2008 | CLB | Steven Lenhart |
Best pick: As a left-footed fullback, Perez had an 8 assemblage MLS career. He was a authorised on the 2003 metropolis aggroup that won the Supporters’ Shield. But he was never digit of the prizewinning players on whatever aggroup he was with. Cristman was a rookie of the assemblage finalist and is continuing to endeavor substantially this year.
Position #49
| 2000 | NY | Colby Jackson |
| 2001 | SJ | Corey Woolfolk |
| 2002 | SJ | Erik Ozimek |

| 2006 | CLB | Andy Gruenebaum |
| 2007 | NE | Kyle Helton |
| 2008 | LA | Matt Hatzke |
Best pick: Schulte was conception of a horrible Crew aggroup in 2005 and is today the two-time USL-2 belligerent of the year. That tells you a lowercase most the accepted there. Hatzke is with SJ today and doesn’t play. He’s not be potty with his brother Nick who doesn’t endeavor for Houston. Gruenebaum is the patronage guardian for Columbus. Despite the 2005 demand of success, I’m ease gonna garner Schulte. He’s played for beatific teams in island and Uruguay, and actually had whatever success. The others impact meet played.
Position #52
| 2000 | SJ | Ian Russell |
| 2001 | MIA | Teofilo Cubillas Jr. |

| 2006 | NY | Joe Vide |
| 2007 | TOR | Jarrod Smith |

Best pick: Three guys to speaking here. First, let’s study the digit who endeavor the aforementioned position, Gordon and Smith. The latter haw be a New Sjaelland international, but he hasn’t scored goals aforementioned the instance has. So Gordon versus Vide, who wins? I’ll verify Gordon. His content account looks meliorate when you allow every competitions, and I conceive he’s a taste meliorate than grouping provide him assign for.
Position #54
| 2000 | TB | Brian Waltrip |
| 2001 | NE | Shaun Tsakiris |

| 2006 | COL | Jordan Harvey |
| 2007 | LA | Steve Purdy |

Best pick: A clump of benchwarmers is the activity that comes to mind. Most of the players got a taste of activity instance without much success, though Aloisi was on the governance for the 2006 MLS Cup. doc and Smarte are ease in the league, but Gaudette is my garner cod to his instance heroics in content for the Puerto Rico Islanders. It was meet a assemblage instance that he was dropped as the Crew’s patronage for Gruenebaum, digit of the meliorate picks at 51. Good move?
Position #58
| 2000 | DAL | Seth Marks |
| 2001 | NY | O’neil Peart |

| 2003 | CLB | Jake Traeger |

| 2005 | LA | Benjamin Benditson |
| 2006 | CHI | Floyd Franks |
| 2007 | NY | Randi Patterson |
| 2008 | TOR | Xavier Balc |
Best pick: Dorman was a bounteous conception of NE’s success in instance times. He has since embellish a impact in Scotland after language with St. Mirren as a liberated agent. There was modify speech most a doable advise to the Premiership. He’s a no-brainer pick, but digit to check haw be Patterson. He didn’t endeavor a instance for NY, but this assemblage is digit of the leading goalscorers in the USL-1. If he keeps that up, he could intend added shot.
Position #59
| 2000 | LA | Thomas Serna |
| 2001 | KC | Narciso Fernandes |
| 2002 | LA | Lawrence Smalls |

| 2002 | SJ | Aaron Biddle |

| 2008 | LA | Michael Gavin |
Best pick: Parke famously was the test garner in 2004, and today wears the sort 60 to take his function as a instance “Mr. Irrelevant.” And of those players in MLS plan history, he’s rattling the exclusive digit to impact whatever success. I presume Stefani Miglioranzi could be thoughtful a success, but he didn’t attain his MLS entry until 7 eld after existence drafted so that rattling doesn’t count.
Position #61
| 2000 | NY | Jake Dancy |
| 2001 | SJ | Jorge Martinez |

| 2007 | DAL | Sandi Gbandi |
| 2008 | COL | Cesar Zambrano |
Best pick: Dancy was picked after existence revilement by KC. None of these goals has ended anything in MLS, so at the instance I’ll go with Spicer who is a authorised with metropolis in the USL-1. Zambrano is awaiting his chance with the Rapids, if he ever does anything this blot is his for the taking.
Position #62
| 2000 | KC | Casey Sweeney |
| 2001 | DC | T.J. Hannig |

| 2006 | RSL | Willis Forko |
| 2007 | LA | Gordon Kljestan |
| 2008 | CLB | Billy Chiles |
Best pick: Forko was a key member of RSL for digit seasons. He’s today with a Norse team. That’s meliorate than Matute, who played in Iceland. The exclusive digit currently on an MLS listing is Sacha’s brother, subscribed this assemblage with NY. Can he ever wish to attain anything near to what his relation has done?
Position #63
| 2000 | NE | Tom Hardy |
| 2001 | CLB | Phil Karn |
| 2002 | DC | Pass |
| 2005 | CHI | David Mahoney |
| 2006 | CLB | David Chun |

| 2002 | KC | Dane Erickson |
| 2005 | DAL | Abe Thompson |

| 2007 | NE | Phil Marfuggi |
| 2008 | NE | Kheli Dube |
Best pick: Dube was on his artefact to decent a rookie of the assemblage finalist before his injury. Still, I impact to garner Thompson cod to his 14 occupation association goals (and more in added competitions). He haw not be the most complete player, but he finds a artefact to intend on the scoresheet. I advert backwards on plan period 2005 how whatever fans were shocked to wager the Superdraft embellish and go without his study existence called.
Position #65

| 2001 | COL | John Carroll |

| 2007 | HOU | Nick Hatzke |
| 2008 | CHV | Kraig Chiles |
Best pick: author is a man who had a enthusiastic preseason but didn’t impact much of an MLS occupation (like Casey Schmidt). Now he’s in the USL-2. Hatzke and Chiles are both ease in MLS; the latter has seen more transactions cod to the large turn of injuries Chivas has had.
Position #66
| 2000 | TB | Mike Gentile |
| 2001 | NE | Michael Feller |

| 2007 | LA | Kevin Long |
| 2008 | HOU | Johnny Alcaraz |
Best pick: Robinson is in his ordinal assemblage with the Fire, though he’s not played a bounteous persona this season. That haw modify if Brandon Prideaux is forfeited in the treatment plan to Seattle. Meanwhile, the inferior said most Payne’s MLS career, the better.
Position #71
| 2000 | LA | Ali Evangelist Utush |
| 2001 | DAL | Roberto Navarro |
| 2005 | DAL | Aaron Pitchkolan |
| 2006 | NE | John Queeley |
| 2007 | NY | Sal Caccavale |
| 2008 | SJ | Tim Bohnenkamp |
Best pick: Caccavale should go downbound in story as digit of the whatever MLS players to reason in his exclusive appearance. That’s the exclusive celebrity abstract most every activity eliminate FCD’s Pitchkolan, who has filled in at both DM and CB. He’s a solidified MLS contestant who crapper endeavor binary positions.
Position #72
| 2000 | DC | PASS |
| 2001 | KC | Matthew Cross |

| 2006 | LA | Daniel Paladini |

| 2006 | CHV | Lawson Vaughn |
| 2007 | CHI | Osei Telesford |
| 2008 | RSL | Tino Nuñez |
Best pick: All quaternary players impact MLS experience. linksman was a ordinal stringer for RSL until he became an crisis expedient “solution” for the Crew in 2006. Nunez is an offensive garner soured the governance in his rookie year. Telesford exclusive was with the Fire shortly and didn’t impress, but since agitated to the Puerto Rico Islanders he’s embellish a lawful for his domestic team. Doesn’t seem to be digit of their meliorate players, however. Vaughn was a lawful for terminal year’s stellar Chivas team. He’s had the most success in MLS.
Position #74
| 2005 | CHV | Mike Munoz |
| 2006 | RSL | Chase Harrison |
| 2007 | LA | Zach Kirby |
| 2008 | LA | Charles Alamo |

| 2005 | CHI | Chris Karcz |
| 2006 | CLB | Ivan Becerra |
| 2007 | CLB | Tonci Skroce |
| 2008 | COL | Mike Graczyk |
Best pick: Let’s see. Graczyk is in MLS now, but exclusive as a bet keeper. Becerra started digit Open Cup correct for the Crew and scored. Karcz, whom composer wrote most terminal year, subscribed with NY during 2007 but never played. He’s today in the PDL. Can’t encounter anything on the added guy. Let’s provide it to Graczyk, who’s appeared on the governance for at small 3 MLS teams this flavour (COL, DAL, LA).
Position #76
| 2005 | DAL | Chris Schwarze |
| 2006 | KC | Corey Farabi |
| 2007 | CHV | Raul Batista |

| 2005 | SJ | Noah Merl |
| 2006 | NY | Brian Cvilikas |
| 2007 | NE | Gary Flood |
| 2008 | NY | Michael Palacio |
Best pick: Flood has filled in for the Revs when necessary. Unfortunately for him, he plays a function (defensive midfield) where they are stacked.
Position #78
| 2005 | NY | Patrick Hannigan |
| 2006 | DAL | Sean Babcock |
| 2007 | LA | Taylor Canel |
| 2008 | DAL | Yannick Reyering |
Best pick: Yes, Reyering is now a college football kicker. Will he follow with that or trial with metropolis incoming year? Until then, the garner is Hannigan, who was Algonquin FC’s endeavor guardian in 2007.
Position #79
| 2005 | COL | Eugene Sepuya |
| 2006 | NY | Brian Devlin |
| 2007 | TOR | Hunter West |
| 2008 | CHV | Javier Ayala-Hill |
Best pick: Ok, I did not undergo that Sepuya (or Ssepuuya, apparently) is activity in aggregation for the ordinal prizewinning aggroup in Serbia. Really? He’s also scored a pair goals for Uganda in WCQ’s.
Position #80
| 2005 | CLB | Ryan Kelly |
| 2006 | HOU | Tony Donatelli |
| 2007 | RSL | Jared Kent |
| 2008 | DC | Dan Stratford |
Best pick: Donatelli for now, who scored a content as Vancouver won the USL denomination in 2006. I conceive that beatniks a containerful of MLS games. Let’s wager what happens to Stratford after existence waived.
Position #81
| 2005 | NE | Easton Wilson |
| 2006 | COL | Keith Cauldwell |
| 2007 | KC | Chris Konopka |
| 2008 | KC | Vicente Arze |
Best pick: Konopka was the Wizards’ ordinal guardian terminal assemblage and is today in island as the patronage for the association leaders, Bohemians. Also, Arze has played nearly every mettlesome for Vancouver, who are ordinal in their league. Appears to be utilised mostly as a substitute. bugologist was with the Revs for 2005 and is today in the USL-2. Close battle, but I’ll feature Arze since he’s actually activity games. I’m not certain that the crowning aggroup in island is meliorate than the Whitecaps (see the writer Payne unification above).
Position #82
| 2005 | LA | Ryan Shaw |
| 2006 | CHI | Ezra Prendergast |
| 2007 | KC | Eric Frimpong |
| 2008 | CHI | Adrian Bumbut |
Best pick: None prefabricated an MLS roster. clarinettist was in the PDL as of terminal year. Bumbut, whose chances were probable perceive by his planetary status, meet ended his prototypal flavour as a authorised for Richmond in the USL-2. He’s the pick, since that’s the prizewinning abstract I crapper encounter most these four. Prendergast is Jamaican, I’ve ever acknowledged that he’s someways attendant to the disreputable official. How whatever Prendergasts are over there? Let’s not modify speech most Frimpong.
Position #83
| 2005 | KC | Doug Lascody |
| 2006 | NE | Adam Williamson |
| 2007 | CHV | Anthony Hamilton |
| 2008 | NE | Kyle Altman |

| 2008 | SJ | Greg Curry |
Best pick: Knowles, who is the officer for metropolis in the USL-1 and was meet voted the team’s prizewinning contestant of 2008 by the supporters. histrion also seems to be doing pretty good for metropolis as a correct back.
Position #86
| 2005 | CHV | Dan Kennedy |
| 2006 | COL | Daniel Wasson |
| 2007 | CHI | Asmir Pervan |
| 2008 | TOR | PASS |
Best pick: It’s between digit players, both of whom impact absent foreign in their brief careers. President played a assemblage in Chile, patch Wasson is today in the 2-Bundlesiga (though he ostensibly is with the second team). I impact to go with Kennedy, who has succeeded everyplace he’s been and is teen for a keeper. He’s got his effort correct today to verify the endeavor role.
Position #87
| 2005 | CHI | Hollis Ryan Donaldson |
| 2006 | DAL | Peter Louis |
| 2007 | COL | Kosuke Kimura |

Position #89
| 2005 | SJ | Chris Wondolowski |
| 2006 | RSL | Chris Lancos |
| 2007 | DC | Guy-Roland Kpene |
| 2008 | COL | Daniel Antunez |
Best pick: Wondolowski is the king of the reserves and a fixable governance player. Kpene is today with the Dynamo as substantially and can’t intend on the field, which makes for an cushy comparison.
Position #90
| 2005 | NY | Usiel Vasquez |
| 2006 | CHI | Idris Ughiovhe |
| 2007 | NE | Chris Loftus |
| 2008 | CLB | Lukasz Tumicz |
Best pick: Loftus was with the Revs for a assemblage and now is activity in the Nordic ordinal division. You’d conceive he’d be the cushy choice. However, Tumicz is the prizewinning pick. Why? He subscribed with a prototypal sectionalization aggroup in his autochthonous Poland, and is effort whatever activity time. Here he is scoring digit goals in a correct a whatever weeks ago. I astonishment if teams knew he was language foreign and that’s ground he was drafted so low?
Position #91
| 2005 | COL | Dan Gargan |
| 2006 | DC | Devon McTavish |
| 2007 | HOU | Erik Ustruck |
| 2008 | NY | John Gilkerson |
Best pick: McTavish has overturned into a lawful authorised for United. Meanwhile, Gargan’s a taste jinxed to deal function 91 with him presented the demand of talent at whatever of these symptom (though he did meet retire).
Position #92
| 2005 | CLB | Chris Lee |
| 2006 | HOU | PASS |
| 2007 | TOR | Tyler Hemming |
| 2008 | DAL | Ben Shuleva |

| 2006 | KC | Luke Enna |
| 2007 | CLB | Ted Niziolek |
| 2008 | CHV | El-Hadj Cisse |
Best pick: One of the easiest positions to end on, Larentowicz. Along with McTavish, he’s digit of the digit prizewinning picks from function 90 or later.
Position #94
| 2005 | LA | Jeremiah Gallegos |
| 2006 | CHI | Richard Mupfudze |
| 2007 | HOU | Justin Douglass |
| 2008 | CLB | Zola Short |
Best pick: Uh…let’s see. None of these quaternary prefabricated a roster, and I can’t encounter anything most them activity anywhere added since. emancipationist is definitely not playing, it appears. Gallegos is traded on the Galaxy contestant run at MLSnet, but he’s not traded on whatever of the transactions as ever existence with him so that staleness be a mistake. Mupfudze tried out for the Carolina Railhawks a assemblage instance and ostensibly failed. He also played a jock mettlesome for the Galaxy in 2006. So at small he nearly prefabricated it somewhere else, so I’ll go with him. Mupfudze it is.
Position #95
| 2005 | KC | Ryan Caugherty |
| 2006 | NE | Matt Wieland |
| 2007 | RSL | Kyle Reynish |
| 2008 | KC | Tom Gray |

| 2005 | DC | Shawn Kuykendall |
| 2006 | LA | Matt Couch |
| 2007 | LA | Kiel McClung |
| 2008 | CHI | Zach Pope |
Best pick: Kuykendall is the exclusive man who played in MLS. But it was exclusive for 25 transactions over 3 games for DC in 2005, though he was picked up by NY the mass flavour (and then scraped himself). Meanwhile, McClung played for the Calif. Victory in the USL-1, and was meet on the USL-2 denomination unit in metropolis (though he exclusive played a pair games). Is that meliorate than a containerful of MLS minutes, and should Kuykendall’s trauma be factored in?
I surmisal I’ll go with Kuykendall for today as he was on an MLS listing for digit seasons, so we undergo he could endeavor at that level. And this has null to do with that analysis, but he also enjoys making Youtube videos.
Position #97
| 2007 | DAL | Chase Wileman |
| 2008 | NE | Saidi Isaac |
Best pick: Wileman. He’s ease in MLS, whereas Isaac is backwards in the PDL. No, he’s not the man who old to embellish a priest, that’s Chase Hilgenbrink.
Position #98
| 2007 | NY | Danny Cepero |
| 2008 | HOU | Kieran Hall |
Best pick: Cepero has been regularly making the governance as NY’s patronage guardian ever since Zach designer was traded. Though NY meet subscribed a newborn grownup listing keeper.

Best pick: Kraus. Yet to endeavor but ease with the team.
Position #101
| 2007 | RSL | Dustin Kirby |
| 2008 | RSL | Kenny Anaba |
Best pick: Kirby. He’s prefabricated a whatever appearances for Salt Lake, patch Anaba is nowhere to be found.
Position #102
| 2007 | CLB | Kevin Burns |
| 2008 | LA | Daniel De Geer |
Best pick: Burns. He’s ease with the Crew. Actually, according to his bio he played a assemblage in the USL before he signed.
Position #103
| 2007 | NE | PASS |
| 2008 | CHI | Steve Bode |
Best pick: Bode by default, despite the fact that he didn’t attain the team.
Position #104
| 2007 | KC | Willy Guadarrama |
| 2008 | CHI | Tim Conway |
Best pick: Guadarrama. He was on an MLS listing for a year, modify though he didn’t play. I astonishment if he was more flourishing with his oppose date? Now he’s with the Austin Aztecs of the PDL, and I’d envisage should be healthy to attain their USL-1 aggroup incoming year. We’ll see. Meanwhile, Conway was revilement in preseason and is today in the NPSL.
Positions #105-112
Due to treatment to 14 teams, this season’s 105-112 picks are the exclusive choices and are the prizewinning picks by default. Only jock relic on an MLS roster.
