Atlas LC had a forgettable 2019. They lost more games than they won and ended the season on a sour note. The offense only created 19 goals initiating from X last season (last in the PLL). They addressed that deficiency and acquired Rob Pannell in the Expansion Draft. He will be their quarterback behind the cage. They got better in the offseason and look to add more talent to their defense in this draft. 

Their transition defense was abysmal last season to say the least. They allowed 47 goals (3.9 goals per game) in fast break scenarios (worst in the PLL). One way to stop transition is to add versatile midfielders. They could look to draft a two-way midfielder who can hold his own on the defensive end.

On top of that, they allowed the most goals (3.3 goals per game) on initiations from X (worst in the PLL). Other than Tucker Durkin, nobody’s job is safe on defense. Syracuse's Nick Mellen has to be at the top of their draft board. 

Defending above the two-point arc was a different story. They allowed the least amount of goals on initiations from the top of the field last season. However, they lost SSDM Steven Denapoli; he was vital to the club's success. A short-stick D-Mid is on their wish list.

Atlas LC had the 2nd best fast break offense in PLL. The bad news is they lost LSM Noah Richard in the Expansion Draft. He contributed four goals and 26 ground balls last season and his presence in transition will be missed. They may look for a replacement with their second-round pick this week.
