Twenty years of the MLS SuperDraft through the eyes of the Colorado Rapids

When the great and the good of Major League Soccer gather for the 2016 MLS SuperDraft on January 14, it will be a fourth occasion that the Baltimore Convention Center will have hosted the event, and the first time since 2011.

It will mark the 21st SuperDraft, at the start of a year in which the league will celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Twenty drafts have gone before and - as one of 10 charter members of the MLS - the Colorado Rapids have been involved in every single one.

From Jean Harbor (below right) at the Hotel Intercontinental in New York City on February 6, 1996 to Brandon Fricke via conference call on January 20, 2015, the Rapids have acquired 131 players via the various-titled drafts (Inaugural Player Draft, College Draft, SuperDraft and Supplemental Draft).
