While it might be tempting to pencil A.J. Soares and Stephen McCarthy into the New England Revolution's starting XI based upon their standout collegiate careers and impressive MLS Combine performances, Head Coach Steve Nicol and Vice President of Player Personnel Mike Burns aren't quite ready to anoint them starters just yet.

After all of the mock drafts, selection swapping, and scarf christenings, the 2011 MLS SuperDraft is now in the books. With that, the New England Soccer Today writers took a look at the New England Revolution's picks and gave their grades.

Julian Cardillo

Grade: A-
Going into the draft, the Revolution needed to continue rebuilding last year's defense (which allowed a league-high 50 goals), work on finding midfield players that can pass and open up space alongside Shalrie Joseph, and find an adequate answer to their goal scoring problems.

The Fire landed University of North Carolina defender Jalil Anibaba with the ninth pick in today's MLS SuperDraft. Anibaba, the MVP of the MLS Combine, was ranked by many as a top five pick and the Fire were understandably surprised to find him available at number nine. According to Technical Director Frank Klopas, Anibaba can play both central defense and right back equally well.

SBI is reporting that UCSB head coach Tim von Steeg has confirmed with him that Tetteh will be the 10th player on the Generation adidas class and will be at the MLS Combine this weekend.
