The MLS SuperDraft may be dwindling in importance with each passing year, but the New England Revolution found two valuable pieces with their first-round picks in 2019.

At N0. 9 overall, the Revs picked Syracuse attacker and Generation adidas signing Tajon Buchanan, then selected Michigan State attacker DeJaun Jones with the No. 11 pick.

On paper, the duo offers pace, athleticism and attacking intent on the wings. That profile would certainly fit head coach Brad Friedel's system, one dependent on the high press.
