We have a winner! Rodney Wallace with the 6th pick.

My expect them to continue to tap into U Maryland.
If only because Cirovski is married to my daughter’s soccer coach.
Seriously, United seems to llike to tap local talent in the draft. Since so few pan out in the long term, I think they like to have the local support mechanisms in place to help the lads adjust.

Delagarza does not have the size to play in central defense which is the critical hole we need filled right now. And if you want a wide attacking player, Jeremy Hall would be a better bet than the others mentioned. However, he might be long gone by the 6th pick. If AJ is available in a later round, he might be useful because he is a savvy player who might make it at the next level.

AJ would be a surprise pick in the first round. I would think if he is available, that we would go after another local product in Kevin Alston to shore up our backline.

I am hoping they pick up someone with pace! We keep getting killed by other teams. I am not sure Wallace fits that bill effectively – do you seem him in midfield or playing in the back for us?

We need some more youth! How about we pick up one of our hometown boys: Rodney Wallace or AJ Delagarza.
