Thursday Afternoon Union Freekicks: Mock Draft Round Up and the Chicago Fire Fan Group Gives Back

Was that mock draft fun last night?  I sure think so…and we all had a lot of fun with it.  There were also some big surprises as well, but it wasn't shock for shock's sake, ya know what I mean?  Scott made some ballsy decisions for the Union, but they were players that fit a need.  I like where his head's at when it comes to the team.

We're going to open things up with how other sides chose in last night's SB Nation Mock Draft.  Join the discussion below.
