Hey mushroom slap, my response was intended to be tongue in cheek (see that's why I put draft expert in quotation marks.....ah never mind. Phew, blogging is hard).

Jason - you may be right, and I have to admit that I didn't realize that DC was looking at two different Gonzalos - that's confusing. Anyway, I doubt they'll sign two international center backs, but even if they do, Horst would be a great value pick at DC's spot. I rate him higher than Brunner as a pure defender. We had King gone already, and I (not speaking for bonji) have Horst a much better prospect than Germanese or Salinas. Reyering might be a good pick if they know he'll sign.

Cheers.

DC is set to sign Peralta and Martinez, two CBs with size and skill. After that, we have MacTavish and Vanney om the bench. Why on earth would we be looking to draft someone to replace Boswell? If we are drafting on need, we will go for a winger (King, Salinas, or Germanese) or a promising forward (Reyering).

Well "draft expert," I was merely pointing out that your inference about 1 good year was inaccurate. But, easy there turbo.

I don't need the internet to look up the answer:
1. I knew you would answer it for me.
2. It's a rhetorical question. You do know what rhetoric is don't you?

Hey, I don't need to look anything up bell slap, I'm a "draft expert".

I'm not sure about your beef - I have Cervi the number two goalie taken, and in the second round. I just think people went a little overboard on his combine showing. In 2004, he stopped a bunch of PKs, and - how's this for bonus knowledge - one of team's other goalies that year was none other than USL vet Terry Boss.

Cervi was terrible in 2006 no matter how you look at it. Look it up.

Tremendous 2008 MLS Mock Draft. There are many out there who appreciate that you two broke down the entire four rounds.

Let's check back tomorrow and see how many you had correct.

Thanks!

Sherard has played at UNC for 4years and has obtained numerous awards to include Team MVP for 3 yrs and ALL-ACC for 3 yrs,how can one bad weekend drop him like crazy! There are players who didnot attend the combine who ranks above him.

That's a good point - UNC certainly isn't know for...

2008-01-17T12:14:00.000-07:00

That's a good point - UNC certainly isn't know for letting their center backs get forward. But it is something Sherard will probably have to prove he can do, unless someone is willing to keep him inside. I think he could end up being a good value for someone, since everybody is dropping him like crazy down their boards. I don't see a whole lot of difference between him and Leathers.

from firsthand knowledge andre sherard was not allowed to go forward by his college coach,for fear of getting beat on breakaways,being that he had the speed to catch college players and make good decisions to keep them from scoring.
