The MLS draft will take place at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
The first round will be broadcast on YouTube.com/MLS, Facebook.com/espn, Twitter.com/espn, and the ESPN app.
Atlanta United has one pick, the 23rd, in the first round. It also has the 75th pick. It traded its pick in the second round to Columbus as part of the package to acquire Justin Meram. It traded its fourth-round pick to Philadelphia as part of the package to acquire Kevin Kratz.
Atlanta United did well in its first draft, in 2017, selecting centerback Miles Robinson and Julian Gressel. Most of its picks in 2018 and 2019 are no longer with the senior team or Atlanta United 2 in the USL.
