In his latest three-round 2022 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling has the Denver Broncos selecting Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean with the ninth overall pick in the first round.
Here is Easterling’s commentary for the Dean pick:
Assuming the Broncos seek their quarterback solution via free agency or a trade, they’ll still have a few different directions they can go here. Three tackles are already gone, which means they’re more likely to go defense, where they find a three-down playmaker in Dean who can make an immediate impact.
