San Jose Earthquakes Mock Draft

Major League Soccer Mock Draft • 2026 Season

San Jose Earthquakes Draft Analysis

The San Jose Earthquakes enter the draft needing to address gaps in both their defensive and attacking units. With a solid foundation in midfield, bolstering the backline and adding scoring options will be crucial for enhancing overall performance. Notably, the team has struggled with consistency on defense, making the acquisition of a center-back a top priority, while also seeking a dynamic forward to complement their existing attacking players.

Nikola Markovic, the top prospect in this draft, would be an ideal fit for the Earthquakes, providing an immediate upgrade to their central defense with his ability to command the backline and excel in one-on-one situations. Additionally, a player like Nick Simmonds could significantly impact the team’s offensive output; his goal-scoring instincts and physicality as a striker would add a much-needed edge to San Jose’s attack. Lastly, Kwaku Agyabeng, a box-to-box midfielder, could enhance the team's transition play and provide additional creativity in the midfield, allowing them to link defense and attack more effectively.
