D.C. United got its man. In a turn of unexpected events, Perry Kitchen fell to United with the third overall pick. United followed up its selection of the current U.S. U-20 captain with another Akron player, fullback Chris Korb. DC finished off its draft by trading into the third round to select goalkeeper Joe Willis of Denver.
SBi was able to catch up with both Kitchen and new DC head coach Ben Olsen during the draft. Our video interview is after the jump:
