15. Mykel Williams, DL, Georgia (Atlanta Falcons)
16. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas (Arizona Cardinals)
17. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (Cincinnati Bengals)
18. Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama (Seattle Seahawks)
19. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
20. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State (Denver Broncos)
Banks’ draft stock has been all over the place over the last few months as his final season at Texas was not quite as dominant as expected. LSU’s Will Campbell appeared to lock up OT1 billing several weeks ago, but has also slipped outside of the top 10 according to this latest mock. The Cardinals have a variety of needs and haven’t shown their hand yet, but getting a player of top 10 talent in the middle of the first round would be great value in this spot with Banks.
In three years at Georgia, Williams recorded 67 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He was named a first-team Freshman All-American by the Athletic in 2022. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defender battled injuries during his career and was never the dominant, every-down force he showed during flashes in his career, but his athletic ability stands out on tape, nonetheless.
