2017 MLS SuperDraft Report Card: Grading each team's selections

The first two rounds of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft are finished, and each team has added a quality prospect or two to its ranks ahead of the upcoming regular season campaign.

But, as in every draft, some teams came out better than others, as the luck of the draw favours only a few.

Here's how we ranked each team's performance in the 2017 SuperDraft:

Atlanta United

(A): Filled a position of need with Syracuse center-back Miles Robinson and then added a versatile attacker out of Providence in Julian Gressel, making for a strong debut at the SuperDraft.

Chicago Fire

(A+): Traded down with New York City FC, acquiring $250,000 in much-needed allocation money, grabbed combine standout Daniel Johnson, then traded $75,000 in TAM to Toronto FC to grab goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland and forward Guillermo Delgado in the second round. Not too shabby, Chicago!

Colorado Rapids

(C): Came into the draft with two mid-tier picks and picked unknown talents in midfielder Sam Hamilton from Denver and defender Liam Callahan of Syracuse. But the Rapids didn't find that much-needed touch of attacking flair.

Columbus Crew SC

(B+) Had a pair of high first-round draft picks and went with the straightforward option, foregoing trades to acquire Dayton defender Lalas Abubakar and New Mexico winger Niko Hansen - both great reinforcements to bolster their ranks.

D.C. United

(A-) D.C. United brought in depth at right full-back with Maryland's Chris Odoi-Atsem, then added another goalkeeper to its ranks in Eric Klenofsky, who fell all the way down to No. 34 despite being a first-round projection. They rounded off the day with Jo Vetle Rimstad, and will be quite pleased with their picks.

FC Dallas

(B): As ever, FC Dallas isn't in any particular need of young talent, rich within its own academy ranks in that regard, but picking up players like Jacori Hayes, Walker Hume, and especially 17-year-old Adonijah Reid represents how much faith this club has in its developmental system.

Houston Dynamo

(A-): Added a trio of depth pieces in goalkeeper Jake McGuire, defender Danilo Radjen, and midfielder Joe Holland, but came out on top of the day by orchestrating a trade with the LA Galaxy for A.J. DeLaGarza. Not bad!

LA Galaxy

(D-): Not only did the LA Galaxy not have a pick in the 2017 SuperDraft, but Curt Onalfo's side also got fleeced of veteran defender A.J. DeLaGarza in exchange for funds that will probably be used on an aged Jermaine Jones.

Minnesota United

(A+) Picked the best overall player with the No. 1 pick in UCLA forward Abu Danladi, finally added a goalkeeper to its ranks in Wake Forest's Alec Ferrell, rounded off its ranks with Delaware's Thomas de Villardi, and acquired $50,000 in allocation money from the Philadelphia Union. That, folks, is how it's done!

Montreal Impact

(B-): Didn't really have many great picks to work with but replaced Didier Drogba with Nick DePuy - UCSB (19), Shamit Shome - FC Edmonton (41)

New England Revolution

(A+) Grabbing a highly touted forward in Vermont's Brian Wright without losing a single asset and picking down the table at No. 20 means New England leaves the draft better than they entered. That's good enough for us, too.

New York City FC

(A): As far as how well New York City FC's picks turn out, that remains to be seen, but it's clear the club went into the draft with some clear objectives and fulfilled them, trading up to acquire Akron forward Jonathan Lewis, then trading with Seattle to snap up Kwame Awuah before ending with one last pick: Jalen Brown of Xavier

New York Red Bulls

(A+): If for nothing else, the New York Red Bulls come out on top for selecting Zeiko Lewis out of Boston College, who took to the podium and remarked, "I'm glad the New York Red Bulls had faith in me. At least someone at this draft does." - Boom. Roasted! The club also snapped up Colgate's Ethan Kutler.

Orlando City

(F): You could hardly fault Orlando City for its performance in the 2017 SuperDraft ... mainly because the Lions were a complete non-factor. No picks meant Orlando was there only as a formality.

Philadelphia Union

(C+): Philadelphia swapped its 41st pick and $50,000 in allocation money with Minnesota United in exchange for pick No. 25, and used that pick to draft Marcus Epps. Is he worth the investment? We'll have to wait and see. The Union also grabbed Aaron Jones from Clemson.

Portland Timbers

(A): The Portland Timbers made a big trade to move up to fourth in an effort to snatch up Jeremy Ebobisse, who was projected to go No. 1 overall by many different outlets. It cost a bit of cash ($100,000 in GAM) but it might be worth it.

Real Salt Lake

(B-): Real Salt Lake needed defensive reinforcements ahead of the 2017 MLS season and found that in Denver right full-back Reagan Dunk and Washington's versatile defender, Justin Schmidt.

San Jose Earthquakes

(C+): The San Jose Earthquakes needed to bolster certain positions, but midfield might not have been one of them. It's why picking UCLA midfielder Jackson Yueill and USF attacking mid Lindo Mfeka is a bit puzzling.

Seattle Sounders

(A+): As MLS Cup winners, the Sounders were unlikely to find much on the bottom of each round, but picked up Stanford standout Brian Nana-Sinkam at No. 22. Seattle gets an A+ for picking a player named Dominic Oduro with the last pick, though!

Sporting Kansas City

(C) Addressed a need with right full-back Colton Storm, but didn't have any chips at the table to do much else.

Toronto FC

(B): Toronto FC wasn't expecting to find a highly touted option all the way down at No. 21, but found just that in Notre Dame center-back Brandon Aubrey, then added $75,000 in TAM funds. That bodes well for a potential star signing.

Vancouver Whitecaps

(B+): The Whitecaps bolstered their full-back ranks with a surprise No. 7 selection in Jakob Nerwinski of UConn and surprise dropper Francis De Vries of Saint Francis. Not a bad day for a team that has no pressing needs.
