Before we get into Atlanta United’s 2019 picks, let’s look at their first two drafts and how those players have fared with the club so far:
2017: 2nd overall, Miles Robinson; 8th overall, Julian Gressel; 46th overall, Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu; 68th overall, Alex Kapp
2018: 14th overall, Jon Gallagher; 36th overall, Oliver Shannon; 37th overall, Gordon Wild; 70th overall, Paul Christensen
Only Julian Gressel has seen adamant playing time of the eight previous players drafted by Atlanta. Miles Robinson has made a handful of starts and seen some cameo action, while Wheeler-Omiunu only saw limited minutes in 2018 before having his contract option declined during this current offseason.
