Former Florida football defensive tackle Caleb Banks is projected to be a second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2026 NFL draft, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. Kiper has Banks being selected 62nd overall, despite his talent being more in line with a first-round grade. A foot injury is the likely reason for the projected draft day fall. The Denver Broncos need interior defensive help after losing edge rusher John Franklin-Myers in free agency. Banks is a 6-foot-6-inch, 327-pound defensive tackle who can disrupt the opponent's offense and stuff the run. The Broncos can afford to take a risk on Banks due to their deep roster.
