Pete Prisco Has Chargers Draft Caleb Banks in 2026 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco dropped his updated 2026 NFL mock draft, and it includes some unexpected choices for several teams. The Los Angeles Chargers are among the teams making what's being called a surprising pick.

In Prisco's mock draft 2.0, the Chargers select defensive lineman Caleb Banks. The pick is described as the team "getting a little weird" with their choice, suggesting it goes against what many expect the team to do.

Prisco's updated draft focuses heavily on big players, with defense dominating the top half of the first round before offensive linemen start getting picked frequently. The mock draft shows teams prioritizing size and strength in the trenches.

Other teams in the draft include the Detroit Lions taking Penn State interior offensive lineman Olaivavega Ioane, the Minnesota Vikings selecting Clemson defensive lineman Peter Woods, and the Carolina Panthers picking Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq.

Why this matters

Mock drafts help fans see which college players might join their favorite NFL teams. The Chargers picking a defensive player suggests experts think the team needs help on that side of the ball for future seasons.

What to watch

The actual 2026 NFL Draft is still over a year away. College players will have another full season to change their draft stock.
