The MLS SuperDraft is definitely not as important as it once was, due to the Homegrown rule, an expanded league, and higher quality of play, but as Matt Doyle argues, it still offers franchise building blocks for teams that play the board right.
When I evaluate the SuperDraft, I see the first round (particularly for teams that have top-10 picks) as a place you need to get players who move your club forward, and every subsequent round as basically a lottery where finding any contributors at all is worthy of praise. By that score, the Quakes have kept up their good run of form with another strong first two rounds in 2017.
