Summary
Mason Graham is a high-motor player who does a good job beating linemen to a spot in the run game. He does a good job setting up his pass-rush moves and has the quickness to shoot gaps and get on the hips of blockers, but must continue developing a pass-rush plan. Graham may not possess ideal length for the position, but he makes up for it with great strength to displace blockers.
About
- Two-time All-American (unanimous in 2024, second team in 2023)

Strengths
- High effort player
- Good foot quickness to cut off and turn back wide zone runs
- Good job setting up his pass-rush moves

- Motor can be used against him as running backs cut off the backside working downhill

Browns' Mason Graham: Browns nab after trade back
The Brown selected Graham in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, fifth overall.
The Browns traded back from the second pick, where the Jaguars paid big for the privilege of selecting Travis Hunter. Graham was a consensus top-10 projected pick going into the draft, but it's a still a slight surprise to see him go fifth overall ahead of some arguably splashier names. Graham (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) was the anchor of a smothering Michigan defense the last three years, standing out as the best player in a unit that almost never lost. Graham is an all-purpose defensive tackle who can either occupy space or split gaps to disrupt in the backfield, so he'll shore up both the Cleveland run defense and pass rush.
