2014 MLS SuperDraft: Revolution Live Thread and Commentary

We're coming to you live from around New England. The MLS has descended on Philadelphia for this years MLS SuperDraft and the New England Revolution will be one of the biggest players in the draft with three first round picks. DC United will pick first overall and Philadelphia and Vancouver each have two picks in the top seven.

The draft begins at 12:00PM on ESPN News and probably streaming online via WatchESPN or ESPN3 if you have provider accounts from your cable company.

While you wait, you can read up on the Revs First Round Mock Draft I wrote yesterday. SBN's Jeremiah Oshan has broken down all 19 MLS team needs in this years draft and not surprisingly, the Revs are looking for attackers. MLSSoccer.com has their final mock draft for the first round and the Revs might be able to capitalize on a few players sliding in the draft.

The first round picks will reflect any draft day moves but not previous deals, like Revs have 4th pick from Crew and 19th from SKC.
