The Portland Timbers selected Julian Bravo and Sivert Haugli in the second and third rounds of the 2022 MLS SuperDraft. With the 27th pick in each of the final two rounds, the Timbers chose two more defenders.
The Timbers’ second-round pick, Julian Bravo, played primarily as a midfielder at Santa Clara University and tallied two assists in the 2021 season.
Bravo projects at the professional level as an attacking-minded fullback. It might be a big ask for a second-round draft prospect to make the first team, but if he does, he fits the style of fullback for Giovanni Savarese’s team.
