A year ago the Union reshaped their team during the Major League Soccer draft, with three selections among the top six picks.
Keegan Rosenberry, who was selected No. 3 overall from Georgetown, played every regular-season minute and was an MLS all-star at outside back. No. 6 overall selection Fabian Herbers of Creighton had three goals and a team-high seven assists as a midfielder/forward. He appeared in 32 games, making 13 starts.
No. 2 selection Joshua Yaro battled injuries but started 15 games and appeared in 17 total at center back.
As the Union approach their eighth MLS season, this year's draft - the first two rounds are Friday in Los Angeles, and the final two rounds will take place via conference call Tuesday - isn't expected to play nearly as critical a role in shaping the roster.
