Three more rounds of another off-season draft are in the books. Fifty-one more players (believe it or not, three teams passed on their final pick) have been assigned to new teams. But there’s still another week or so before training camps officially open.
MLS Draft 2011: Taking A Final Look At Who Came Out On Top
In the meantime, we’re going to have to bide our time by doing things like assessing the relative perceived successes and failures of the various teams. I’ve asked the various managers of the SB Nation team blogs to weigh in on how their teams fared and give me their impressions of which teams did particularly well and which ones didn’t.
I've already given some of my post-draft impressions, but my general impressions were this: The Houston Dynamo and DC United were probably the most improved teams and I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with the Vancouver Whitecaps and Philadelphia Union. I'm not sure the Dynamo and DCU did enough to get themselves back in the playoffs, but they seem to be clearly headed in the right direction. Conversely, I'm not convinced the Whitecaps and Dynamo are destined for failure, but it's hard to feel good about two teams who made some head-scratching choices.
