Atlanta United will play its first MLS game against New York Red Bulls at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium on March 5.

Atlanta United would be willing to trade the No. 2 pick in Friday’s SuperDraft for the right offer.

Sam Stejskal, a reporter for www.MLSSoccer.com, tweeted out that information Sunday night after speaking with club president Darren Eales. Teams are inquiring about the pick.

Atlanta United has the Nos. 2 and 8 picks in the draft.

The three consensus players expected to go either No. 1, 2 or 3 are Duke forward Jeremy Ebobisse, UCLA forward Abu Danladi and Syracuse defender Miles Robinson.

Eales has said that he thinks this year’s draft, which consists of four rounds, is very deep.

The MLS combine is currently underway in Carson, Calif.
