2010 MLS Superdraft Order & Picks

The 2010 MLS Superdraft is now in the books. Click here for results. I'll leave this list of pre-draft trades up, but now we can start looking ahead to the 2011 MLS Superdraft. Trade/Pick Movement List Round 1 CLB has COL's pick (Noonan) DAL has TOR's pick (Serioux) NY has HOU's pick (Oduro) Round 2 COL has DAL's pick (Ihemelu) COL has DC's pick (Gomez) DAL has CLB's pick (2008 picks) DAL has TOR's pick (Ibrahim) NY has LA's pick (Magee) RSL has DAL's pick (Davies) SJ has DAL's pick (Campos) SJ has HOU's pick (Weaver) TOR has COL's pick (Richardson) The Davies pick is for the lowest of DAL's two second rounders (CLB & TOR; their normal pick is now COL's). That pick now belongs to SJ, after originally being traded to RSL. Round 3 CHV has SJ's pick (Burling) DAL has CLB's pick (2008 picks) HOU has SEA's pick (Ianni) KC has NE's pick (International slot) SJ has TOR's pick (Garcia) The Burling pick doesn't specify whether it's for SJ's original pick or the TOR pick that they also own. I've listed it as SJ's pick, #35, but it could also end up being #37. Ianni's pick was conditional. If he had played in 20 regular season games, the the pick would've became a second rounder. He ended up only playing 17. Round 4 CLB has CHI's pick (Herron) CLB has LA's pick (Miglioranzi, conditional) LA has RSL's pick (Mathis, conditional) Conditional Picks CHI has CHV's pick (Curtin) CHV has TOR's pick (Guevara) LA has DC's pick (Wicks) NE has DC's pick (John) NY has RSL's pick (Kovalenko) RSL has CHV's pick (Talley) SJ has HOU's pick (Weaver) Soccer America said at the time that Chivas is guaranteed a first rounder out of the Guevara deal. Since they got a second rounder in this year's draft, that means they should probably get TFC's 2010 first rounder, right? Of course, Dallas already holds that pick. The Talley pick is a second rounder in either 2010 or 2011. The John pick is also in one of those two years, though a round isn't mentioned. Supplemental Draft Wasted Trades CHI has SJ's 4th round pick (R.Johnson) HOU has DC's 4th round pick (C.Thompson) SJ has LA's pick (Kirovski, conditional) The supplemental draft no longer exists. Generation Adidas Players Every top pick since 2003 has been a GA player (or Project-40, as it was once known). These players are underclassmen signed to contracts before the draft. As they are younger and also don't count against the salary cap, they will almost certainly make up at least half of the first round picks. I highly recommend Buzz Carrick and 3rd Degree's 2010 Generation Adidas tracking page for all the latest news and rumors. On December 10th, 3rd Degree posted the preliminary GA list which includes 30 names. See the link above. Top Seniors On December 10, the 2010 MLS combine player list was released by the league, which includes 62 players. 3rd Degree also posted the list of "senior targets" to possibly be signed before the draft. Two players are on that list who aren't on the combine list: Paulo da Silva (SMU) and Stephen McCarthy (UNC). Those 64 along with the GA players will make up the majority of the draft picks. Besides those 64, what other names are worth remembering? Now that the draft is only days away, there are a few really good sources for detailed information. One is the best blog for following college soccer prospects, Pro Player Pipeline. He has rankings of the top prospects for each position, as does the aforementioned Carrick at ESPN Soccernet. SBI also had some good coverage last year, including the best series of mock drafts on the net. I believe Ives did a very in depth draft day chat last year as well.
