San Jose Earthquakes: Miles Robinson, D, Syracuse
San Jose takes the best player available at 6. That would be the 6-2 185 lb Miles Robinson who is the best player available at 6 with most of the offensive players gone.
San Jose Earthquakes center backs Victor Bernardez and Clarence Goodson are both 34-years old. Miles Robinson is the best player on the board plus he provides a youth movement after Goodson suffered a season ending injury earlier in 2016. San Jose was one of the leagues better defensive teams, but I doubt they can pass on someone as talented as Miles Robinson at 6 if the opportunity presents itself.
Miles Robinson has dominated in 2016. Robinson has 4 goals, 1 assist, and 9 points which is phenomenal for a center back. Syracuse has tallied 11 shutouts in 2016 thanks to Robinson. Robinson helped Syracuse record shutouts against North Carolina, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Boston College.
Robinson is an exceptional pure center back in terms of having defensive intangibles. Robinson has the kicking power and kicking accuracy to be a threat on offense when he dribbles the ball. Robinson is the one center back most likely to receive a Generation Adidas offer.
