I would think so. He was the B12 Defensive PTOY and a consensus (I think) All-American. Does he go up next to Crosby?
And more importantly, does Shanny draft him?
Isn't the criteria for his number to be honored either a post-season award, three-time 1st team Big-12, and/or 2 time 1st team all-american??
Dizon would be a nice player to take in the 5th round or so. The Broncos just need players. He would be an impact player on special teams, the worst unit on the Broncos right now.
People get way too caught up in drafting for specific positions. Outside of QB, every position is open for drafting. Get the best player available because there are so many needs, they're not going to be able to address them all.
• Jordon Dizon (Colorado) doesn't look the part of an NFL linebacker, but somehow, he winds up around the ball on nearly every play. His feet are outstanding, and he covers a lot of real estate in zone. He has an uncanny knack for avoiding blockers without taking himself out of the play. His lack of size and power will prevent him from playing in the middle at the next level, but he has a chance to make an impact on the weak side in a smaller-type scheme such as those run by the Colts and Broncos.
• Colorado CB Terrence Wheatley also has been impressive throughout the week. He displays very smooth feet, showing good ability to mirror and stay with receivers. With good ability to turn and run combined with adequate top-end speed, he rarely trails receivers and often runs step-for-step with them down the sideline. He also has shown sound ability to break out his backpedal; he broke up a curl route during seven-on-seven drills.

I haven't even looked at NFL draft projections yet, but do you really think Dizon will last until the 5th round?
