After heading into the draft as the consensus favorite, Georgetown defender Joshua Yaro has faced more scrutiny over his size and optimal position as the draft draws near. While the Fire need defensive help, general manager Nelson Rodriguez has hinted at finding strong reinforcements at centerback from Europe, putting a Yaro selection in jeopardy.
As Yaro's stock has slightly slipped, midfielder Jack Harrison has generated more buzz with his dynamic play and left back Brandon Vincent garnered even more attention after a surprising national team call-up. All three could be in play for the Fire or a trade.
Speculation has increased that the Fire will indeed trade the top overall pick for a combination of a player and picks.
