The 2022 MLS SuperDraft is this afternoon, with expansion side Charlotte FC kicking things off with the first pick. While the event has become less prominent with time, it still marks an unofficial beginning of the season for Major League Soccer, and teams are still able to find important players if they’ve put in time scouting and are prepared to develop them.
When does D.C. United pick?: United has the 13th pick in all three rounds, meaning they pick at #13, #41, and the nicest pick of all, #69. Of course, last year they were willing to pay $125,000 to move up to the #5 pick, which came just after they had picked at #4, so do not rule out some moves to add to the total, or bundle the three picks to move up, or possibly even a move like their 2018 choice to trade out of the draft before the event.
