15 - The LA Galaxy have apparently switched picks with RSL. We'll see...
The first trade! LA Galaxy trades the 15th pick and the 2011 3rd round pick for RSL's 16th 2010  pick plus Clint Mathis. RSL selects Colin Warner from Portland with the 15th pick. LA Galaxy take Michael Stephens from UCLA with the last pick of the first round.
