Now on to Banks. While I like him and the pick, I don't he maximized his potential in college. I've always thought he was bit overrated honestly. Hopefully he becomes a true anchor for a long time coming.

I read something about Will Johnson having what's described as a "chronic knee issue" also.

I'd rather pass on anyone with an injury concerns like that, we've seen that play out for years and it's tiresome.

I don't know much about what's on offer, but my next favourite pick would be either LB / Front 7 or WR.
