I figure the top two pics are used for nationally known college players while the bottom two are used on local players ala Jeff Moore from last year

Time to dump a Chrono,Lisi ,Moore ,Klinger, Alvarez(maybe Oz gets a job in MLS somewhere) or other type like Forko, Addo, or even Balboa and pick up some draft picks in 2nd thru 4th rounds to give Bradley some to work his magic with.

Alecko???

The draft won't be held until Jan 17. This gives Nick & Co. 2 1/2 months to screw this up.

We will find out by then if Nick gets a chance to screw it up or of Bob & Co. will save us.

That doesn't look right for the 2nd round. For starters, I didn't think we gave Dallas our 2nd rounder in that Countess trade (Countess for Griffiths and a 1st rounder), so how did they get our 2nd round pick? Also, we traded Griffiths to LA for their 2nd round pick, so the 20th overall selection should belong to us as well.

No. Countess and #2 for Griffiths and #1, Griffiths for conditional pick, which probably was lost when Griffiths was waived.
