Couple thoughts:
- Everyone loves Irving Garcia. I am not surprised. I wrote this for my first mock draft: I am not going beat around the bush; I like Irving Garcia's game. The first word on every scouts' description will be "small" but that should not distract from a very skillful player. I have seen Garcia slice and dice through defenses like Sigi Schmid through a buffet. When I witnessed him play in the Big West final against UCSB, I wrote after the first half, "That was the best performance I have seen in
college soccer this year." I stick to that statement. Garcia is a difference maker. - Tchani was the boss of the midfield.
- Wiedeman might fall a bit in the draft because he is not getting any service. I think this is a good thing. His contract is already signed so money isn't an issue. The later he goes in the first round, the easier it will be for him to integrate into a team. Also the teams at the end of the first round, typically have a good midfield to supply him with chances.
- Mo Johnston would do dirty things for a first round draft pick. He might be addicted to drafts.
- NY wouldn't allow Jeff Agoos attend the combine. No word on whether he is allowed at the draft or not.
- Bengals and Eagles rolled over today.
