I feel like OT is one of the very few positions in the NFL where polish has more value than athletic upside. It’s almost always a bad position to gamble purely on potential, think Greg Robinson over Jake Matthews, Mekhi Becton over Tristian Wirfs… it’s really not the position to play games with and overthink in my opinion.
While you are correct, Banks is more clean and polished than Becton or Robinson were. His body of work speaks for itself. He held up well against tyree Wilson and will Anderson/Dallas turner as a freshman. I don’t blame people for putting Campbell first (he is extremely good) but it’s a false equivalency relating banks to Becton and Robinson
Duane Brown was 6’4 locked things down for a decade at LT.
Rashawn Slater and Bakhtiari are both 6’4.
Fatuanu is 6’4 and I imagine the plan is for him to be a tackle. Delmar Glaze is 6’4 and drafted in the 3rd.
Any opinions on Wyatt Milum (WVU) or Fernando Carmona (SJSU --> Arkansas) yet? I feel like those are a couple names I keep hearing as potential risers for this upcoming year.
First round pick for Campbell? My guy with a season anything close to '23 he's going top 5 easy. You can barely make up a more impressive career so far than what Campbell has done and he was 19 years old this past season. I have no clue how people are sleeping on this dude.
First time I've seen someone ranked above Campbell so far. How do you think Banks and Campbell would rank in this past OT class?
I think both are right around the Fashanu range. Campbell is the more polished guy, but the upside on Banks is unreal.

Campbell is really good but having to watch his stance is going to drive me insane.
He might end up a Cleveland Browns left tackle next year. Because our left tackle has been average to below average past few years in Jedrick Willis.
Are there any centers you think will be in the conversation for best in the class?
How do these guys compare to Alt, Latham and Fashanu according to you?
How many 6'4" Tackles are there in the NFL? Seems like those guys get kicked inside, unless he has really long arms

like I stated - unless they have long arms - not sure on what the appropriate arm length is for tackles
Definitely not the norm! But Rashawn Slater has shown that it can work.
Onwenu and Eluemunor have played at tackle

I’m a big fan of Milum and Membou at Missouri is as good of an athlete of any of the tackles on this list.
Is there a Sewell/Tunsil level prospect?
He's not at the same level as Sewell as a prospect (yet), but Earnest Greene flashes a similar skill set, especially on the move.

Is that a typo in Tyler Booker’s description? He didn’t play LT…
