The Denver Broncos do not have a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft after trading for quarterback Russell Wilson, but they do have a second-round pick and a pair of third round picks to use later this month.
In his latest three-round NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling has the Broncos adding a pair of instant impact defenders followed by a long-term solution at right tackle.
Easterling’s mock has Denver selecting Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall (No. 64) in the second round. With Baron Browning expected to spend time at outside linebacker this offseason, the Broncos could use another starting-caliber inside linebacker.
In the third round of the mock, Denver adds Maryland safety Nick Cross (No. 75) and Ohio State offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere (No. 96). Cross could be the long-term replacement for Kareem Jackson and Petit-Frere would give the team a long-term option at right tackle, a position that Billy Turner is expected to fill this fall.
