2026 Projections
Picked by Vikings
The Vikings selected Banks (foot) in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 18th overall.
ANALYSIS
Banks (6-foot-6, 327 pounds) is more theory than practice to this point, but it's easy enough to see why the theoretical versions of Banks are so tempting to NFL coaches. Banks' 5.04-second 40 and 114-inch broad jump aren't numbers you see for guys as big as Banks or with Banks' 35-inch arms, so it's easy to envision the Vikings' new defensive tackle establishing a wide lateral reach at the line of scrimmage to trap ball carriers and collapse the pocket. The fractured foot that Banks incurred at the February Combine is believed to be a non-issue -- the recovery is expected to complete itself some time in June.

Getting closer to full clearance
Banks, who is recovering from foot surgery, is on pace to be fully cleared for football activities in early June, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The talented defensive tackle out of Florida had a procedure to repair a bone in his left foot, and a CT scan Tuesday led Dr. Norman Waldrop of the Andrews Clinic to write a letter to all 32 NFL teams regarding Banks' status. Banks is considered among the top defensive tackles in this year's class and had impressed at the Senior Bowl, but he subsequently suffered the injury during the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
