2022 NFL Mock Draft: Seahawks replace Russell Wilson at No. 9
By Randy Gurzi
11. Washington Commanders: Derek Stingley, CB, LSU
Derek Stingley might be getting passed over by Ahmad Gardner who really stood out late in his career but that doesn’t mean he’s not still an elite prospect. The Washington Commanders end up taking him at No. 11 as they look to rebuild their defense.
There was a real chance they were going to use this pick on a quarterback but that changed when they just made a recent trade for Carson Wentz from Indinanapolis. Wentz is now on his third team in as many years so there has to be pause before claiming he’s the franchise quarterback for them but he does at least buy them enough time to avoid a quarterback here.
12. Minnesota Vikings: David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan
Aidan Hutchinson has been on the radar for a very long time as a great defensive end prospect but in 2021, his teammate David Ojabo burst onto the scene. A breakout campaign from Ojabo is enough to catapult him into Round 1 where he lands with the Minnesota Vikings in this mock.
He might not be as well-rounded as his Michigan teammate (at least at this point) but Ojabo is incredibly explosive and that was easy to see at the combine. His addition can help Minnesota rebuild their once scary defensive line.
