Browns Draft Michigan Dt Mason Graham at n ° 5 after exchanging n ° 2 with Jaguars

Berea, Ohio – After exchanging with the Jaguars from n ° 2 to n ° 5, the Browns reinforced their defensive line with the defensive platform of Michigan Mason Graham.

Graham, 6-3, 320, will work inside with Mike Hall Jr. and the other defensive plated of Browns.

Lance Zeirlein de Nfl.com writes by Graham, the best defensive tackle of the class:

“The three techniques that offers activities, efforts, strength and speed. Graham’s speed in the first stage makes the interior disruption inevitable. He has instant reading and response to regularly beat side blocks. It is solid at the time of the attack with an excellent lever and a body control, but will lose ground against the double teams.

“Graham’s lack of length makes him more difficult for him to find quick victories as a rusher, but he compensates for it more with his level of activity and his speed of foot. Hands and harmonious feet are the catalyst for its on -board trays, while its prolonged effort and its fence helped go home.

According to the 33rd team, Graham is a transcendent talent of the program which can afford value of all defensive ideologies. Graham is a solid defender of the attack point which can gain with the lever effect, hands, instincts or speed and penetration in the first step.

As rusher of pass, it presents a variety of ways to attack the sets of interior passes and the figures to continue to develop as a budding disruptor in the passage game. The teams looking for a high ceiling tone sector on the ground inside will undoubtedly be attracted by its coherent teaching band in the middle.

Pro Football Focus had today on Graham:

Graham was a four -star recruit and a double state wrestler. He first wanted to play the second, but his coach convinced him his best blow in a high level division that I offer and the NFL was in the trenches. Its PFF Pass-Rush note on True Pass passes, the Run-Defense defense rank, the Pass-Rush victory rate and the solo run-stop rate in the past two years in Michigan are all higher than the 95th centile. He has an adequate size to play 3 techniques in the NFL, but he has played almost all the alignments on the defensive front in the past two years. Graham is explosive in his first step, giving it a good speed conversion to power and push-up effective movements. He shows a good turn, and his hands are fast, violent and well placed, especially in the defense of the race. He likes to use a two -handed blow or a club arm like his main passage moves. His biggest problems arise from a lack of arm length, but there is still so much to love. Its competitive tenacity and its engine are ideal.
