The Worst of the MLS SuperDraft

Filed under: MLS, Chicago Fire, Colorado Rapids, D.C. United, FC Dallas, Kansas City Wizards, New York Red Bulls, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes

As the Vancouver Whitecaps prepare to select first in Thursday's MLS SuperDraft, the expansion side should heed this cautionary tale: Half of the No. 1 overall picks since the event was established in 2000 have been busts.

So choose well, Vancouver. For every Maurice Edu, there has been a Nikolas Besagno. To emphasize the point, check out FanHouse's all-time worst SuperDraft XI below.

After highlighting the best players the mechanism has produced, it's now time to call out the selections who haven't fared so swimmingly.

Whether the top pick during the proceedings in Baltimore ends up being Perry Kitchen, Darlington Nagbe or someone else entirely, Vancouver (or maybe a team that trades to the top spot) will hope its choice doesn't belong on this list in the future.
