I thought they had him as the first lineman off the board. I’m definitely with it.

You are probably right but I assumed it was Will Campbell (LSU).

Do we need to look for someone who specializes at right tackle? At the very least we need to make sure whoever we take can play either side.

Likely as a guard.

There's a lot of discussion about new coaches, scheme, etc, and how what that means for our draft. Regardless I hope we land either Banks or Campbell - both project as a day 1 impact GUARD

LG is an immediate need.

Depth is the next greatest need.

Contract expirations. Worth noting the only player who will be 30 at the end of their contract is McCoy

LT Fuaga 2028
LG Saldiveri (?) 2026
C McCoy 2027
RG Ruiz 2027
RT Penning 2026
