Teams add creamy filling to rosters

Here are the team-by-team selections from Thursday's supplemental draft which is sort of like day two of the NFL draft (only none of the players get to pose in team hats because it's done via conference call). The Supple Draft used to be non-collegiates signed by the league, but then they created the Superdraft in 2000. In 2003 they re-instituted the Supple Draft to allow teams to select players signed by MLS post-Superdraft. Now, it's essentially become extra rounds to fill developmental rosters and reserve teams. Since the switch over, most of the players never seen the pitch for their respective MLS teams. In the 2005 Supple Draft there were a few exceptions, however. Dallas selected Abe Thompson in Round 4 and Jeff Larentowicz (see picture) was taken by New England in the final round.
