STM Take
Four straight tier 8 STTM finishes (#65, #58, #90, #90) across two systems creates a major gap between Banks's $77M Packers contract value and his on-tape STTM ranking. The Notre Dame pedigree plus the Super Bowl LVIII appearance gives him real veteran market résumé. The 2026 question is whether the change of scenery to Green Bay produces a tier 5-6 jump or whether the structural tier 8 baseline becomes a contract-value risk.
Banks came out of Notre Dame as the San Francisco 49ers' 2nd-round pick (48th overall) in 2021 and spent four years as the 49ers' starting left guard including the Super Bowl LVIII run. He signed a four-year, $77M deal with the Green Bay Packers in 2025 free agency. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#65) in 2022, tier 8 (#58) in 2023, tier 8 (#90) in 2024 with the 49ers, and tier 8 (#90) in 2025 with Green Bay.
Strengths
- Super Bowl LVIII appearance plus four years of 49ers starter reps gives him real championship-pedigree veteran résumé.
- $77M Packers contract reflects the front office's view that the underlying tape is stronger than the STTM ranking suggests.
Concerns
- Four straight tier 8 STTM finishes across two systems creates a major contract-value gap relative to the $77M Packers deal.
- Packers' broader offensive line investment around Jordan Love's contract creates cap pressure if Banks's STTM ranking doesn't jump.
What to watch: Whether Banks crosses into tier 6 (top 50) in 2026 with Green Bay, the threshold for closing the gap between $77M contract and STTM ranking.
