A year after getting to pick twice in the first round in the SB Nation mock draft, we had to wait out 32 picks to join the party this year in Sunday’s online draft.
But making the playoffs and jumping the allocation order to acquire Alejandro Bedoya seem like a small price to pay for the Philadelphia Union picking later when considering there were still a pair of talented college forwards still left to select with the 33rd and 42nd picks in the two-round mock draft.
With the first pick, we went local and selected Temple star forward Jorge Gomez Sanchez, who found the back of the net 27 times in two seasons for the Owls.
