Four reasons Sounders fans should watch the MLS SuperDraft

The 2021 SuperDraft features several changes compared to last year. The pandemic means the draft experience will be entirely virtual rather than having the first round produced as a TV experience in a central location. There is no longer a second day with rounds 3 and 4 — in fact there’s no longer a Round 4 (although four teams have a total of five picks after the end of the third round this year).

Seattle Sounders FC will not pick until 80th, and don’t really have assets to trade up. Their limited cash resources will need to be focused on starting-caliber talent rather than college prospects.
