The MacMath behind drafting a goalie early
Since the first MLS draft in 1996, 10 goalies have been drafted in the first round. The results are decidedly mixed. And while some first rounders have been productive and others have been duds, no goalie selected in round one has had a long and influential career for the team that picked him. Brad Guzan for Chivas and Matt Jordan for Dallas have come closest to fulfilling their promise as long-term number ones.
