He discusses the process of finding players for the draft, what the club is looking for both in style and outcome, and much much more.That's followed up with a chat from one of Dallas' best recent draft picks in striker Logan Farrington. The former #3 overall selection talks the draft process from a player perspective, what his draft day looked like before being picked by the Burn, and his ramp up period going from major college soccer to MLS in a matter of months. 2:06 MLS SuperDraft primer11:04 Leo Baldo interview39:20 Logan Farrington interviewThe FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network.
