The Sounders have some heady decisions to make in the MLS SuperDraft this week.
Taking a broad view, Seattle is used to drafting late. The Sounders have never drafted higher than No. 8, and even that was because they traded into that position. Otherwise, it’s mostly been the bottom third of the first round thanks to their strong positioning in the table every year. That’s helped the Sounders get creative, like when they traded up in 2015 to snag eventual starter Cristian Roldan.
So the fact that the Sounders have two picks in the first round of Friday’s highly anticipated draft?
