The 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and now the real fun begins—debating every team's best and worst selections. For Minnesota Vikings fans, you're here to find out which pick has drawn the most criticism. According to CBS Sports, the answer might catch you off guard.

We recently covered the team's top-rated pick, but now it's time to flip the script. Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports has singled out first-round defensive tackle Caleb Banks as the Vikings' worst pick of the draft, handing it a D grade. On the surface, the concern is understandable—Banks comes with a lengthy history of foot injuries that could raise red flags for any team.

But let's pump the brakes here. When you consider Banks' raw talent and the likely positive prognosis from the Vikings' medical staff, labeling this as their worst pick feels like a stretch. In a draft class full of potential, Banks brings elite-level skills that could anchor the defensive line for years—if he stays healthy.

Of course, there's a catch. If those foot issues resurface and sideline him long-term, the narrative will shift quickly. For now, though, calling Banks the worst pick might be premature. The Vikings took a calculated gamble on a player with Pro Bowl upside, and that's a risk worth debating on draft day.
