2005 MLS SuperDraft


The 2005 MLS SuperDraft, held in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 14, 2005, was the sixth incarnation of the annual MLS SuperDraft. Expansion club Real Salt Lake had the first pick as the result of a coin toss. RSL drafted Under-17 midfielder Nikolas Besagno with the first selection.
A collective bargaining agreement with the MLS Players' Union dictated that the draft be reduced from six to four rounds, although a supplemental draft was held to equip newly formed reserve teams and compensate for expansion.
