Official Expansion PBP and POST Draft Thread - DC United Edition

Q2 can play. He is plenty quick enough to play in the DC midfield. Flat out running speed is overrated as an essential component of a professional player. Quick decisions and quick movements are what pay off. I've seen him in games and in a scrimmage where he stood out as one of the best talents on the field. No, he probably won't start, barring injuries, but he is a talented and versatile player to have on the bench.

For those of you that were wondering about the slowness of the draft/tracker/etc, on the second pick you could hear in the background behind Garber someone announcing that Chivas had taken Zaidie. The draft was over in about 10 minutes and the TV portion took up that hour.

Thx,

Jay!

Although you won't have to worry about the Senior side, I have a feeling some of the Barra Bravas will be suiting up for the reserve games!

It's true. I heard the exact same thing.

Boy, I screwed those predictions! I only (correctly) picked EZ. I would have bet money that Q2 & Perkins were gone. I wonder why Q2 wasn't chosen? IIRC, he had a broken leg, which to my way of thinking, was a preferable injury (from an acquiring-team perspective) than an ACL/MCL injury. Shows what I know. I'm glad we kept the players we were able to retain, but EZ was a good acquisition which we may miss, especially if we don't acquire a suitable replacement for Nelsen.
