It was exciting to walk in to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia for the 2018 MLS SuperDraft. The event is staged in the middle of the United Soccer Coaches Convention, which has its own momentum, and the draft itself posed the usual questions: who would be selected by whom? Which teams would use the day to wheel and deal themselves up the order or seek to cash in their picks?
For the New York Red Bulls, it was a pretty straightforward day in the end: three picks in the first two rounds, used on three players.
