Montreal Impact traded all their way up to the fifth pick on the Super Draft and selected Eric Miller in a surprising move, considering they already have Hassoun Camara as the starting right back. It was definitively a puzzling move considering the plethora of talent that was available.

UConn forward Mamadou Diouf was projected to go in the first round and many had him as high as a Top 15 pick, but he ended up falling to the Vancouver Whitecaps, who selected him with the 30th selection. He can be considered as an absolute steal for the Canadian side, as they added speed and athleticism to their forward line.

Tesho Akindele impressed at the Player Combine and he was highly expected to be taken in the first round, but he was a Top 10 pick, being selected with the sixth pick by FC Dallas and ahead of players like Schillo Tshuma and Patrick Mullins. It’s a huge pressure for the skilled winger, but he already showed he has enough talent to compete with the best of them.

Two of the most coveted forwards that were a lock to be early picks in most mock drafts fell out of the top 10. Patrick Mullins went 11th overall and was selected by the New England Revolution, and Schillo Tshuma was chosen by the Portland Timbers with the 17th pick; both players have potential to be considered a huge steal.

Jamaican-born goalkeeper Andre Blake was surprisingly chosen with the first overall pick by the Philadelphia Union – they traded picks with D.C. United – marking the first time in the Super Draft history that a goalie goes first overall. It’s also the first time a goalkeeper is chosen in the Top 3 since USMNT star Brad Guzan in 2005.
