Mason Graham projected third overall in NFL draft

Mason Graham, a defensive tackle from Michigan, is a hot topic in the lead-up to the NFL draft. Recent mock drafts suggest he could be picked as early as third overall. Former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum has updated his mock draft, placing Graham with the New York Giants at number three. Tannenbaum believes Graham's skills and physical abilities make him a strong fit for the Giants, especially after the team signed quarterback Russell Wilson. Graham had an impressive season, recording 3.5 sacks and 26 pressures. His wrestling background gives him great balance and technique on the field. Tannenbaum thinks pairing Graham with current Giants player Dexter Lawrence II would strengthen their defense. There have been concerns about Graham’s size. He weighed 296 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine but returned to 306 pounds for Michigan’s pro day. Despite this, many analysts still rank him highly. ESPN’s Mel Kiper placed him fifth overall, while NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah predicted he would go eighth to the Carolina Panthers. As the NFL draft approaches, Mason Graham is firmly positioned in the top 10 picks. The question remains: when exactly will his name be called?
