2017 MLS Draft Grades: Did the Revolution Miss an Opportunity to Improve?

During the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, the Revolution front office looked beyond its glaring defensive needs and chose to bolster its attack, drafting forward Brian Wright (20th overall) and midfielder Napo Matsoso (31st).

Do either of these moves make sense for the Revolution? Our staff weighs in—and dishes out a draft grade for the team’s first two picks.
