First Round
1 Rochester (from Ohio) Mark Millon Attack
Millon is one of the best MLL players of all time but at age 41, this is an interesting pick. Corey McLaughlin from Lacrosse Magazine reports that he is trying to make a comeback.

4 Ohio (from Rochester) Jeff Ledwick Midfield
Played at Colgate. Was the captain last season and ended up with 47 points playing midfield. Led the Patriot League with nine power play goals.
5 Long Island Kevin Ridgway Defense
We predicted that this defenseman would end up in Long Island after they lost some defense in the past few seasons.
6 Boston Christopher Mattes Midfieled/FO
The Cannons could use some faceoff help after trading John Ortolani and with Chris Eck coming off of knee surgery. Played with the Denver Outlaws in six games last season.
7 Denver Charlie Cipriano Goalie
Good backup goalie option for Jesse Schwartzman in Denver.

32 Chesapeake Casey Powell Attack
This is the one pick in the draft (other than Millon) that makes you stop and go… What?!? Powell retired from MLL after he was suspended, and has told The Lacrosse Radio Network several reasons he has distaste for the league. Unless Chesapeake knows something we don’t, this is weird.
