Around SBN: New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Ring Unveiled

Poll: Who Would You Pick in the First Round of the SuperDraft?

Good morning everybody. I hope everybody's Thursday is looking good, or at least just being a day closer to the weekend gives you the courage to soldier on.

Anyway, given that yesterday I participated in my own mock draft over on SBNation Soccer, I figured today might be a nice day to see where you stand on incoming SuperDraft players, particularly our first round pick.

So, with that in mind, given Vancouver is not an obstacle, who would you choose were you Gavin and John sitting in Baltimore at the SuperDraft? Also, please explain why. There are no wrong answers.

I have an entire network dedicated to searching the Internet for articles on prospective MLS draft picks and going “ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY”.

"Every country that ever started a World War had a soccer team."

“I’m not saying that soccer leads to megalomaniacal thoughts of global domination and the inevitable, attendant genocides. I just think it’s interesting.”

"You know what I hate about soccer? All that running around"

“It wears me out just to look at them! I haven’t run that much since I found out that Old Doc McGee moved his office to the next town over and I was out of Restultifying Tonic! Which reminds me, why are there no tonics any more? Everybody uses these fancy PILLS now. When was the last time you could rub a PILL on your shoulder blades and make it feel better?

And why are they called shoulder blades, anyway? You can’t cut steak with them"

Fastest to leave MLS team for Europe...Salgado

That’s Salgado’s big dream. Playing for a big European club.

Jao Plata...

…looked awfully good yesterday.

Salgado!!

The organization has made it clear they’re trying to build a young team to build on. Perfect fit. If he starts playing lights out, great for us. If he plays so well that a european team wants to buy him for a bundle of cash, not the worst that could happen either.
