In his first 2022 NFL mock draft, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has the Denver Broncos selecting Michigan edge defender David Ojabo with the ninth overall pick in the first round.
“Unless the Broncos grade this year’s QB class differently than I expect, Ojabo could very well be the pick,” Zierlein wrote on NFL.com. “He’s not ready as a run defender but his pass-rush talent is undeniable.”
Zierlein has Denver passing on quarterbacks Kenny Pickett (No. 11) and Malik Willis (No. 17) to select Ojabo, a Nigeria-born pass rusher.
