“Colin Rolfe was a player we liked heading into the draft,†head coach Dominic Kinnear said. “He also fills what we considered a position of need. With regard to Warren, I thought he had a very good combine. I look forward to seeing him in camp and seeing him with the guys.â€
The Dynamo then selected University of Central Florida midfielder Warren Creavalle with the No. 37 overall selection in the second round.
