MLS SuperDraft 2015: Complete Round-by-Round Results and Twitter Reaction

The first two rounds of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft took place on Thursday, January 15, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, as the first 42 picks were made.

Orlando City SC landed the consensus top prospect with the first overall pick, selecting Connecticut's Cyle Larin. The first round saw a handful of big surprises, including the slide of Washington's Cristian Roldan and Toronto FC's pick of little-known defender Clement Simonin.

Canada international Larin was widely regarded as the top player available in the draft, and as shared by Goal.com's Ives Galarcep, Orlando surprised no one by selecting the powerful forward first overall:

Larin was not able to attend the event, as he's currently playing for Canada in the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.

According to ESPN FC's Paul Carr, it marks the first time in MLS history a single school provided two consecutive top picks after UConn's Andre Blake went to the Philadelphia Union first overall in 2014:

Roldan was seen as the second-best prospect in the draft, but after a disappointing combine, some pundits warned the pint-sized midfielder could slide on draft day. New York City FC, who have no clear needs in central midfield following the signing of Mix Diskerud, settled on Oregon State's Khiry Shelton instead.

The forward couldn't believe his luck, as he told NewYorkCityWatch:

UCF's Romario Williams made it three consecutive forwards, going to the Montreal Impact. American Soccer Now thought Roldan's combine performance wasn't as poor as some suggested and was shocked by the decision not to select him in the top three:

Matt Polster provided one of the more touching moments of the first round, bursting into tears after being selected by the Chicago Fire. ITV's Kristan Heneage was moved by his show of emotion:

Toronto FC took Syracuse's Alex Bono, the top-rated goalkeeper in the draft, with the sixth pick before shocking everyone by selecting Simonin, a defender from North Carolina State, 10th overall.

Simonin was not invited to the combine and didn't make any major waves heading into the draft. Galarcep didn't hide the fact this was an odd pick:

Roldan continued his tumble until the 16th overall selection, where Seattle Sounders swapped picks with Real Salt Lake to take the midfielder. Bleacher Report's Joe Tansey and Galarcep thought the move made sense:

UCLA's Leo Stolz was the last high-profile star to come off the board, as questions regarding his MLS future saw him drop all the way to the New York Red Bulls at 18th overall.

As noted by Galarcep, the young midfielder made it clear he had no interest in signing for a team not based in New York or Los Angeles, which explains the drop:

The second round saw few surprises, with most teams electing to fill areas of need rather than taking a flier on some of the prospects with more upside. Here are the full results of Round 2: 

Pick	Team	Player	Position	Affiliation
22	Orlando City FC	Conor Donovan	Defender	NC State
23	New York City FC	Connor Brandt	Midfielder	San Diego
24	Portland Timbers	Andy Thoma	Defender	Washington
25	Orlando City FC	Akeil Barrett	Forward	Tulsa
26	Colorado Rapids	Joseph Greenspan	Defender	Navy
27	Real Salt Lake	Boyd Okwuonu	Defender	North Carolina
28	Chicago Fire	Kingsley Bryce	Forward	St. Louis
29	Toronto FC	Wesley Charpie	Defender	UCF
30	Houston Dynamo	Oumar Ballo	Defender	Maryland
31	Philadelphia Union	Dzenan Catic	Forward	Davenport
32	Portland Timbers	Christian Volesky	Forward	SIU-Edwardsville
33	Seattle Sounders	Tyler Miller	Goalkeeper	Northwestern
34	Portland Timbers	Kharlton Belmar	Forward	Virginia Commonwealth
35	Columbus Crew	Sagi Lev-Ari	Forward	Cal State
36	Houston Dynamo	Rob Lovejoy	Midfielder	UNC
37	Toronto FC	Edwin Rivas	Forward	Cal-State Northridge
38	Vancouver Whitecaps	Kay Banjo	Forward	UMBC
39	New York Red Bulls	Stefano Bonomo	Forward	California
40	Seattle Sounders	Oniel Fischer	Midfielder	New Mexico
41	Philadelphia Union	Eric Bird	Midfielder	Virginia
42	DC United	Dan Metzger	Midfielder	Maryland

Dzenan Catic was one of the more intriguing players still available, and the Philadelphia Union took a chance on the Bosnian with the 31st overall selection. He also couldn't fight back the tears:

Oumar Ballo fell to Houston Dynamo with the No. 30 overall pick, and his tremendous upside could see him end up as one of the top steals of the draft.

The 2015 MLS SuperDraft will continue on Tuesday, January 20, via conference call.
