2017 MLS Draft

I think that they can trade down and still get one of those 3 players.

 

With No. 12 pick in #MLSSuperDraft, D.C. United selects @MarylandMSoccer D Chris Odoi-Atsem (@DeMathaSoccer) #terps

Dammit, I am only still at work to watch DC's first pick Grrrrrrrrrrrrr


W00t!

 

Shout out to the PGC

 

I'm good with whoever else we draft. Best value pick by far.

 

Good, smart, pick. Plays behind Franklin for a year or two and then steps up. Sasho says best 1 v 1 defender he's coached in 24 years. Hope that isn't hype.

 

I like this pick ... probably going to be groomed to be Franklin's replacement on the roster long term. Not sure if right back was necessarily the position with the biggest need, but when a highly rated local guy falls in your lap, you take it.

 

Odoi-Atsem phenomenal speed; top-notch 1v1 defender; has improved on his crossing - but continue to needs to improve. dribbling needs to get better. very high ceiling.

Good pick. Especially for the scouting staff constrained by Metro safetrack

 

How does his speed compare to Yedlin's?

In the same race, but behind Yedlin.

I like Odoi defense better - but both have similar challenges.

 

Still, sounds like a good pick. I have a feeling that Franklin is gonna go downhill quickly.

 

Apparently DC's time out was to discuss a trade attempt from Red Bull. Makes me like this pick even more since we cock blocked Red Bull.

 

Just wondering . . . Who are theses LA FC fans? Galaxy haters? Paid plants? Don Garber's love children? I don't get it.

I look forward to watching him develop. Unfortunately that will be in Richmond.

 

This board's mod...

 

Traitor! I blame Putin.

 

I'm listening to the draft on the mls site and as I am reading your post their commentators say EVERYTHING you wrote verbatim.

 

Change your avatar, Knavemorrisey.

 

Honestly, I think that ding-dong (Matt Doyle) actually wrote that crap originally.

 

DC should take Shome.

 

No, Reid 17 yo GA; Maybe kid from Butler or Hume def from UNC

 

We take a GK
