Vikings draft Florida DT Caleb Banks at No. 18

Caleb Banks one of the biggest boom/bust prospects in the draft. If he’s healthy, he could be one of the best players period. But that foot….

No. 18: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida Holy shit I didn’t think he’d go R1. But he’s my DT1, a crazy blend of length and fluidity. The injuries are very scary, and he’s gotta iron out his pad level, but the Vikings DL room is uber thin. If Banks can stay healthy I’m super excited

would’ve guessed day 3 was more likely than day 1 for caleb banks

THE VIKINGS TAKE CALEB TO THE BANKS BANKS SHOT BAIL OUT THE BANKS okay Im done

Wow, Caleb Banks at No. 18 -- Draft Day Predictor gave him just an 18% chance to be selected in the first round at all entering tonight.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CALEB BANKS ON THE VIKINGS BABY THIS FUCKING ROCKS HE'S SO FUCKING GOOD HE'S GOING TO GO SICKO MODE MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Caleb Banks: because after Sharrif Floyd, the football gods sort of owe us when it comes to high-upside Florida DL

The #Vikings are taking Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks 18th overall. He's their highest-drafted defensive tackle since Kevin Williams in 2003, and their first first-round DT since Sharrif Floyd in 2013.

OH!?! Caleb Banks is fun as hell (if healthy). The potential wild shit Flores can draw up in the A gaps with Banks's quickness there... whew.

Kevin O'Connell, speaking now at TCO Performance Center, says the Vikings believe Caleb Banks can be a difference-maker at a spot of need, noting that he'll work alongside Jalen Redmond and some other young guys in the DT room.
