Mason Graham

I'm out on Graham now with his measurables, at least with pick 4.
 
I think most measurables are overrated. I love data points, but I love tape more. Graham only had 3.5 sacks in the regular season, but his first step quickness is really good. He could get better with handfighting, but because of his height he defaults to either getting under their pads and taken em for a ride or using his quicks with a rip or swim move.

If your out on him then be out but his weight should not be a determining factor, he has exceptional transferable traits or he doesn't. If you think he does then weight should not matter, if you don't think he has exceptional traits then weight won't matter either. We also don't know what he was asked to do in the michigan defense.

Adding weight isn't hard. You can't add arm length lol
 
True, but on the interior OC, OG and IDL arm length is not really a factor. By that I mean you rarely see a C or G try to long arm a DT and vice versa.
he also has a quick enough 1st step that most of the time he will close the gap between him and the OLman and get into his chest and at that point everything is bent arms.
 
For those of us who still want to go with Graham at 4....

 
The highest sack total of any draft eligible DT was 9, Mason Gra

The highest sack total of any draft eligible DT was 9, Mason Graham had 5. He was 10th for pressures, 8th in pass rush grade and 3rd best in pass rush win rate amongst the DTs graded in the first 3 rounds and that's before we get onto his run defense.

He es a really good player, but I think the Milton Williams signing takes him off their board at 4.
