Last year's class was relatively weak outside the first few picks.
I think you will see a lot of guys stick with MLS and USL affiliates for at least a few years with this group. Rookie of the Year candidates will likely be HGPs. No true standout and nobody dominated the Combine.
On one level, it's surprising to me that only two Rookies of the Year have been homegrowns - Najar in 2010 and Morris in 2016.
On another, it's not that surprising, because the most talented homegrowns are usually being signed at ages too young to make a huge impact in MLS immediately. The draft then features more developed, but less talented, guys who go through 4 years of college and are more productive upon their professional arrival.
