The Daily Wiz: Hard To Know What To Make Of Sporting Kansas City’s Draft

Honestly, who knows with this draft class. It could ultimately land anywhere between epic failure (F-) and a very solid (B+). I decided to go somewhere in the middle of those extremes. Choosing CJ Sapong with the tenth overall pick certainly caught a lot of people off guard; especially with guys like Will Bruin and Corey Hertzog - much higher rated players than Sapong - still available. The reason is simple: Sapong fits the KC system in a high pressure 4-3-3 formation, whereas the other two forwards are much better suited in a 4-4-2 with a feeder right behind them. So, on that front, it's not a bad pick. He is, though, 22 already and still considered "raw," so you have to wonder how much room there is for him to still develop.

Second and third round picks JT Murray and Konrad Warzycha will both likely fill out the reserve roster for the first half of the season and be given ample opportunity for first team football when expected starters Stephane Auvray and Craig Rocastle miss up to a month for the Gold Cup. Overall, Sporting KC looked to fill out a lot of depth in the draft, and looks to have done so with moderate success.
