Low conviction#207OT·USC
The league moved faster than our board — IND took him at No. 137, 70 picks ahead of our No. 207 grade. His career is settling that argument now.
Draftanomics's take
Draftanomics had Zach Banner at #207 on draft night — a Day 3 grade — and IND took him at No. 137, 70 picks earlier than our grade. Bust risk projects at 7%, below the position median — the model has a tight grade.
