Superdraft Live

Superdraft is just starting and the Rapids made a move.  They traded the #6pick and $200K of GAM to Houston for the #3 pick.  I'm guessing we're going after Bartlow.


Philip Mayaka surprisingly falls to the Rapids at #3 after Periera is taken #1 and Harris is taken #2.  Mayaka was considered the most obvious #1 pick in a while so a great get for the Rapids, even if he doesn't have an obvious starting spot right now in central midfield.  Clemson considers him the most 'MLS-ready' player they've ever had.


The Rapids traded their #21 pick to Austin for $50K of GAM.


The Rapids passed with their second round pick, and will presumably do so with their third round pick.  If something changes I'll post but otherwise I'll get into more detail about Mayaka tonight.
