The 2017 MLS SuperDraft is upon us and Real Salt Lake has combed through the potential selections thoroughly. On Friday at 1 p.m. MT, Minnesota United will make the first pick and not long after Real Salt Lake will pick 13th overall. Here is a look at how the experts prognosticate the 13th pick in the final mock drafts.
MLSsoccer.com – Justin Schmidt, CB, Washington
“RSL don't have an absolutely pressing need here, and Schmidt didn't cover himself in glory at the Combine. But depth in central defense is a must for a team with two guys who are frequently injured (Aaron Maund and Chris Schuler) and another who's going to be on duty with the US U-20s for a good chunk of the season. GM Craig Waibel's familiarity with Schmidt should help.”
Top Drawer Soccer – Jacori Hayes, MF, Wake Forest
“Even if he doesn't have a clear position, Hayes is a quality player that could make an impact this season in a wide role.”
