The entire left side of Notre Dame’s 2020 offensive line has already been drafted, with former Irish left guard Aaron Banks picked No. 48 overall by the San Francisco 49ers, following former Irish left tackle Liam Eichenberg’s second-round selection.
Both consensus All-Americans, they should be only half the Notre Dame offensive linemen picked in this draft, with Tommy Kraemer and Robert Hainsey still waiting to hear their names called.
Banks could have returned to try his hand at left tackle for the Irish, something he admitted interest in at the end of March, but in talking to former teammates already in the NFL, he concluded it was time to enter the draft.
