Denver Broncos 2022 mock draft any head coach will love

The Denver Broncos don’t have a head coach yet, but this is a 2022 mock draft scenario that any prospective head coach candidate will love.

The Denver Broncos may not have a head coach, but they do have a general manager whose first-ever rookie class was arguably the best in the NFL.

Paton’s ability to scout and draft players may not have a near-100 percent hit rate as we saw in the 2021 NFL Draft class, but it certainly won’t be for lack of “darts” to throw at a pretty talented crop of prospects.

Even without a coach (or a trade for a veteran star quarterback), I think you can put together a pretty darn good mock draft scenario for the Broncos in 2022 that any prospective head coach will be excited about. Let’s jump into it.

Kyle Hamilton tops latest Denver Broncos mock draft

This was a scenario I wasn’t necessarily expecting, but it’s something to definitely consider.

In the mock draft scenario I was presented with, Hamilton was on the board along with Iowa offensive lineman Tyler Linderbaum and Michigan pass rusher David Ojabo.

Typically I’ve been going with Ojabo in these scenarios, but frankly, a scenario in which Hamilton is available completely changes the game.

Not only does Hamilton fit the description of what I think Paton likes to prioritize in terms of the “freak” athletes, but he’s an absolute prodigy of a defensive weapon who can be used as a weapon all over the place.

Playing in tandem with Justin Simmons?

That would be appointment viewing each week.

Hamilton has elite range and is capable of completely changing the outlook of a game with his instinctive play, ball skills, and ability to play deep as well as come up into the box.

He finished this past season at Notre Dame with 34 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, and four passes broken up in just seven games.

Hamilton is one of the true blue-chip prospects in this class and would be a game-changer in an already loaded secondary.
