Update | NWSL College Draft: Thorns hold No. 1 and No. 3 picks, acquire Nadim

In wheeling and dealing that saw eight of the 10 first-round picks traded -- three picks were traded twice -- and three second-round picks traded three or more times, the NWSL College Draft boils down to this: Portland ended up with the first and third picks, putting it in line to take U.S. international Emily Sonnett from the University of Virginia with the first pick, also picked up Danish international forward Nadia Nadim.

Shortly before the draft, the Thorns traded the No. 2 pick to Sky Blue FC in a deal that netted them Nadim, the third overall pick in the 2016 NWSL College Draft and a second-round selection in 2017 from Sky Blue FC. They also gave Sky Blue FC a 2017 first- and conditional fourth-round pick.

Cavalier players could go 1-2 as forward Makenzy Doniak is a good bet to be taken with the second pick.

Thorns had made several deals that resulted in the trade of Alex Morgan to Orlando City. They've also picked up Meghan Klingenberg, should sign Lindsey Horan from Paris St. Germain and could sign French star Amandine Henry from Lyon.

A pair of Women's World Cup players -- Penn State's Hermann Trophy winner, Raquel Rodriguez (Costa Rica), and North Carolina's Katie Bowen (North Carolina) -- could go high in the first round.
