SoccerByIves picks Farfan for the Rapids, proves he has never actually watched the Rapids.

Now, that's not really that bad of a pick all things considered. I still doubt that the Rapids will go for a midfielder with their top pick – especially if he can't also play striker like Ashley McInnes can do – with the pickup of Joesph Nane in the offseason plus promising prospects Davy Armstrong and Ross LaBeaux in the wings. Gary Smith basically coming out and saying he plans to get a striker in the SuperDraft kind of kills that idea as well, but I can't say that it won't happen. Daniel Keat seems to be a popular choice in some drafts as well but I won't be complaining about it. What I take offense to is Ives description of WHY they'll make that pick.

Telling the Rapids to basically redraft Mehdi Ballouchy 2.0 isn't exactly what I'd call a smart draft pick unless Gary Smith is expecting to leave pretty soon and give the reins of head coach to a coach who is the polar opposite of himself. Attack based on creativity is a fine tactic and one that works beautifully if you have the players to do it with. Unfortunately, mixing one bit of creativity into your strict defensive squad doesn't make the squad more creative, it just makes a horrible clash. I think BBQ sauce tastes delicious in most situations, but that doesn't mean I should put it in my oatmeal.

I always knew Ives didn't like the team, but I think it's pretty obvious now that he's never even WATCHED them. It takes a lot to make me speechless, but this managed it. Wow.
