    Nate Jaqua is no surprise and a good player. Not sure about the rest honestly… hooray I think? A number of them are young at least…

    Like Ryan said, “no surprise” on Jaqua but the rest of these guys I don’t know. One player that excited me was Eddie Gavin of the Crew, I would have liked to see them take him among the mess of midfielders they selected, but I guess they didn’t agree. Especialy with Sigi hopefully becoming our new head man. But I guess that’s why they are in the front office making decisions and I am pounding away blindly on a keyboard, like a poorly trained primate at a cosmetics lab.

    WTF?

    I guess it means I’m an actual fan that this draft pisses me off.

    Thanks for Jaqua, bold with Parke/Sturgis, and I’d like Evans if we could take two guys from a single squad.

    But, how do we not grab Gaven or Pappa or Ricketts or any of the top flight midfield talent available? Devastating.
