Analyst Moe Moton listed Minnesota Vikings’ 2026 first-round draft pick Caleb Banks as the team's potential biggest bust, citing health concerns. Banks, selected with the 18th overall pick, has undergone two foot surgeries since August 2025 and has yet to practice. Head coach Kevin O'Connell expresses optimism that Banks will be ready for training camp later this month, although he may not receive full reps immediately due to missed spring practices. Banks' future performance remains uncertain as the Vikings look to bolster their defensive line.
