2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Browns made Graham their first-round pick (fifth overall) and the defensive tackle is expected to start immediately. He anchored the University of Michigan's defensive line during its championship run in 2023 and then took on a greater role in 2024 when Michigan boasted one of the top rushing defenses in the FBS. Graham is not flashy, but his history as a wrestler taught him how to use leverage and win battles. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $40.87 million contract with the Browns in May of 2025.
Nabbed by Browns at pick No. 5
The Brown selected Graham in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, fifth overall.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be in Patriots' sights
Graham is a player that Mike Reiss of ESPN.com believes the Patriots will be watching closely at the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine.
ANALYSIS
Reiss notes that in his introductory press conference in January, new head coach Mike Vrabel emphasized how important consistently disrupting the opposing quarterback is to upping a team's odds of success. Consequently, if the Nittany Lions' Abdul Carter is gone within the first three picks as expected, Reiss believes Graham, who totaled 108 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, three defensed passes, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 39 regular-season and postseason/bowl games in three years at Michigan, could very well be a target for New England with the fourth overall selection.
