MLS SuperDraft Importance Dwindling for Orlando City

The first and second rounds of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft were held Friday with the third and fourth rounds to come on Tuesday via conference call. Orlando City fans will notice that the Lions did not pick in the first two rounds of this year’s draft, holding only a spot in the third and fourth rounds.

While in most American professional sports a college draft is important, Orlando City has reached a crucial point in the club’s development where the draft no longer holds such value.
