SKOL Search: Grading the 2025 Defensive Tackle Class | Banks, Woods & McDonald | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

SKOL Search: Scouting 2026 Draft DTs Caleb Banks, Peter Woods & Kayden McDonald — Tyler Forness hosts SKOL Search on Vikings 1st & SKOL, previewing the 2026 NFL Draft by scouting three defensive tackles often projected in Round 1: Caleb Banks (Florida), Peter Woods (Clemson), and Kayden McDonald (Ohio State). Forness explains why this DT class lacks a clear elite top-five talent, then breaks down each prospect’s traits, usage, and concerns. Banks (6'6", 330) is praised for rare size/length, explosiveness, varied pass-rush moves, and two-gapping ability, but has pad-level issues, needs better counters, and carries major injury/foot-medical questions. Woods (6'3", 310) flashes a prototypical 3-tech profile with explosiveness and strength, but saw notable 2025 production/grade decline, questionable effort, short arms, and limited counters. McDonald (6'3", 326) is an immovable, versatile run-stuffing nose with two-gap ability but offers limited pass rush value, earning a mid-to-late second-round grade. 00:00 Welcome to SKOL Search 00:43 Why Defensive Tackles Matter 02:55 Meet the Top Three 03:18 Caleb Banks Overview 05:12 Banks Injuries and Availability 08:28 Banks Strengths and Upside 13:57 Banks Weaknesses and Grade 18:03 Peter Woods Background 20:29 Woods Traits and Production Dip 24:21 Woods Concerns and Projection 27:11 Kayden McDonald Run Stuffer 32:22 McDonald Value and Final Wrap 33:49 Outro and Subscribe _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/MbZ3RhLsYic Fan With Us!!!
