After the draft, I caught up with Rapids technical director Paul Bravo and asked him a few quick questions on how the draft had gone. He was, unsurprisingly, pleased with how the proceedings had gone: BW: There were a couple of forwards available at sixth overall, Zavaleta and Johnson among them, what set DeShorn Brown…

According to a report from our Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game, a source has told them that the Union had wanted very much to trade up in order to get Brown.
