Crew Technical Director Brian Bliss was somewhat famously quoted as saying "...evening before the Draft in the bar, and it's usually four beers and a prayer at that point."
I didn't think it is that unpredictable. Going over the basic stats through 70% of this year, it looks like 1st round picks are getting similar minutes and producing about as much as years past.
It's all about roles and situation but one big call out this year is Colorado. They really have gotten a lot out of their picks with Brown and Powers.
List is in order of 'superdraft' selection.

The Crew went for a goal scorer in Ryan Finley this year. He has seen some time but the Crew have tried to explore the talents of 2nd year man Aaron Schoenfeld instead.
With him (Schoenfeld) hurt, Crew fans should expect Finley to find more time in the coming weeks and nab a couple goals. 'Tis his destiny.
Expect Ryan Finley to finish in the 0.30 goals + assist range if he does see regular minutes.
