FC Dallas & the No. 14 - 3rd Degree

Number 16 pick, and the first GK off the board, is Niklas Herceg for FC Dallas. Solid shot stopping but not really a notable distributor. Only a sophomore, so could maintain his eligibility.

Ricky Louis is next. Very dribbly wide forward type. Feels like Dallas gave up a lot to move up from 12th to 2nd, especially since they have the 3rd pick. Not a huge fan of this one.

Nicholas Simmonds goes 3rd, again to Dallas. I feel like Simmonds is a bit of a trap pick. He ran very hot against the numbers but he has low shot volume, low xG, mid xG/Shot, and doesn't make a difference on set pieces or in 1v1 battles. I understand a lot of teams like him but the numbers don't
