The Minnesota Vikings were at the scouting combine where the cornerbacks and safeties had a great performance. There were a myriad of great athletes at the position and multiple players tested within the believed thresholds for the Vikings.
The Draft Network’s Jaime Eisner is of that mindset and has them selecting Maryland cornerback Deornte Banks in his latest mock draft.
The Vikings must add to their CB room in the 2023 NFL Draft and Deonte Banks is a great fit. Banks’ size, length, and ability to press give him the ability to be a starter early in his career.
Banks was a physical monster at Maryland and he tested incredibly well both in his jumps and ran a 4.35 40-yard dash. He excels in man coverage and would be a great addition to the soon-to-be revamped Brian Flores’ defense.
