This is the order:

Minnesota United
Atlanta United
Chicago Fire
Houston Dynamo
Columbus Crew
San Jose Earthquakes
Vancouver Whitecaps
Atlanta United (via Orlando City)
Columbus Crew (via New England Revolution)
Portland Timbers
Chicago Fire (via Philadelphia Union)
D.C. United
Real Salt Lake
Sporting Kansas City
Colorado Rapids (via LA Galaxy)
Seattle Sounders (via New York City FC)
New York Red Bulls
FC Dallas
Montreal Impact
New England Revolution (via Colorado Rapids)
Toronto FC
Seattle Sounders

Some news from Will Parchman:

"With the draft about 75 minutes away, have been told by some soccer gnomes not to be surprised if Abu Danladi goes at No. 1."

ETA: Paul Tenorio is saying Minnesota is still shopping the #1 pick. New England, Portland and Dallas interested.

Ebobisse from Duke is compared to Bradley Wright-Phillips.

There are two good RBs in this draft, and I hope that Houston just grabs one of them. We don't have a natural RB on the roster and the other top players likely won't make an impact ahead of what we've signed.

Can't wait for the dynamo to screw this up.

I'd love for Eboussie to fall to Atlanta.

I really have no idea what we (AUFC) will do.

Trade?

Get a big CB?

Get a F?

Defensive depth is what I would do.

I think we should take someone on a GA deal, preferably Robinson. We could use that cap flexibility, and having a young CB to (hopefully) build around would be huge.

If Atlanta is smart they grab a top defender.

Yeah, Atlanta is mocked for the top CB. But if Minnesota goes a different direction at No. 1, I'd still want Eboussie. Get a defender a few picks later.

Won't happen, neither are GA players and that seems to be the only ones this cheap arse team goes after.

Abu Danladi bandwagon, though Robinson looks like the safe pick based on my minimal knowledge.

I'd be ok with Jackson Yueill, but he'd be a off the bench option at best.

That's about it.

If there are any Hondurans in the SuperDraft, they might as well book that flight to Houston now. The Dynamo love them some Hondurans.

It's fun to watch the two new teams construct their rosters. Atlanta could make the playoffs in year one with the right moves. The East is ripe for the taking. A lot harder to compete in the West right away.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan doesn't trade the pick for GAM and TAM. Probably be better if he did as none of the players he has taken the past two years have done anything.

Is this speach dragging on a bit to anyone else?

Edit: Garber mentioned Atlanta in the group of teams who will be opening a soccer specific stadium
