Possibly the only thing interesting.
This gives an interesting perspective on today's reality of draft especially as it goes on. Looks back at where everyone is from last years draft.

Every year I am reminded how I have no life simply by the fact that I actually live stream this darn thing.
Especially as this has become a glorified USL draft.

I want this ball.

Handful of decent MLS players there. Harrison is definitely solid.
Shome, Reid all still available... And Aubrey and Hume still on Defence...
I meant from last year's draft.
Really not many players from it tbh.
I still would take the Free Shome on GA.
Maybe Trade them for next year picks.
I would take a flyer on REID, SHOME, and AUBREY or HUME though
When the highlight of the draft is some kid picked 17th saying teams who didn't pick him will live to regret it, its a boring draft.
And its even more of a boring Draft, when my work phone hasn't run with a call since the draft started....
The Reds are on the clock, will they go with one of the Canadian GA's. Interesting that the Impact past on them.

Watch Bez pick someone that will have everyone going, "Who!?"
Like The Guy From Cape Verde....
We Should be able to get 3 of Nanco, Reid, Shome, Aubrey, Hume or Goldsmith.
Aubrey it is! Projected at 3 in some drafts...
Seems like we got a guy who fell after not a great combine in Aubrey.

very interesting.
Bez thinks one of Canadian GAs might be available in 2nd round or not very high on them.
Aubrey should fit in well as 5th CB, if TFC signs another CB. I guess Simonin is not being re-signed to first team contract, and maybe a USL contract
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

We need to trade for Reagan Dunk. I just like that name.
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
Aubrey came in as a top 10 ish pick but dropped after having a poor combine showing. Who knows, maybe we got a steal here, maybe not. Picking a CB makes sense though so I'm happy about that.
Anyone know if Aubrey was one of the seniors signed to a contract by the league prior to the draft?

From what I understand Simonin will be on trial during the preseason.

Looks like we got our replacement for Skylar Thomas.
I still wonder if Thomas was a total reach at 11 or a true bust? Even with the diminishing role of the draft, you should still be able to get someone at least service able at 11.

Hopefully Aubrey gets Minutes and proves himself. Maybe with him being from Notre Dame, we will come out Lucky from this pick...
I'l like us to grab Goldsmith from Butler with one of the remaining picks...
About Thomas
He was ranked lower on the board then 11th by most people. High second round IIRC. I think he was a local boy reach (like Bekker in some ways) that didn't work out. Based on what people who followed TFCII stated, he's CPL material.

Watched Skylar with TFCII and the U23 team, he deserves more than Simonin to be with TFC for a trial. He's strong, and good in the air.
Aubrey already has a contract. Wonder how that effects the way the Reds approach to him.

Maybe that's why he dropped...
I wonder if the Contract amount was announced to the teams before the draft?
All accounts is he had the worst combine of anybody there - routinely beaten and driven past.
He's a project.
^ Unless he was dogging it specifically to drop in the draft to a more desirable team...
Most of what I have read it was a bad combine that caused him to drop. When it comes the pre-season he does not have the pressure of having it earn a contract Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

The paper work will sometimes kill you. With these back to back picks early in the second round you got to figure the Reds will take one of the Canadian GA's.

I don't understand why the GAs are not snapped up earlier. They're free players
