Earlier this month, Josh Edwards released a seven-round NFL mock draft for CBS Sports.
He has the Denver Broncos making a controversial decision with their first pick, selecting Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun at No. 62 overall. Igbinosun (6-2, 189 pounds) is a talented prospect, but most Broncos fans wouldn't appreciate taking a cornerback in the second round one year after using a first-round pick on Jahdae Barron, who struggled to win playing time as a rookie.
Denver already has a talented secondary, and cornerback is not viewed as a pressing need. If the Broncos view a cornerback as the "best player available," though, the position could be in play. Here is the full Edwards mock for Denver:

The 2026 NFL draft will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
