Ahead of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft on Friday, I wanted to take a look back at the last few drafts and what the Colorado Rapids got from them. When trying to decide how far back to go, I went with the last five drafts. Not only is five a nice round number, but 2014 represents the first draft after the Oscar Pareja era, where the Rapids reduced their focus on young players (2013 was the draft that brought us Deshorn Brown and Dillon Powers). It’s also the point where the league moved to the 4-round format that they’re still using this year.
