The 2020 MLS Draft kicks off on Thursday, and while there won’t be a live event like in year’s past, the broadcast of this year’s draft should still provide plenty of intrigue as expansion sides Inter Miami and Nashville SC kick get things rolling.
Inter Miami is in prime position, and holds the first and third selections in the draft. Fellow expansion side Nashville SC has the second overall pick.
The leading candidates to be chosen first overall include MAC Hermann Award winner Robbie Robinson from Clemson, Indiana University defender Jack Maher, University of Virginia striker Daryl Dike and Georgetown defender Jimmy Nealis.
Robinson, Maher and Dike are joined by Henry Kessler and Ryan Raposo in this year’s Generation Adidas class as the draft’s underclassmen.
