The Cleveland Browns made a strategic move in the 2025 NFL Draft, trading down from the second overall pick yet still securing a top-tier prospect in Mason Graham from Michigan. His presence will undoubtedly benefit the defensive line, particularly as he learns from the exceptional Myles Garrett, a generational talent known for his relentless pass-rushing ability. Since joining the NFL, Garrett has consistently delivered double-digit sacks, making him a vital asset to the Browns' defense.

Graham's rookie year holds significant potential; despite having recorded only 3.5 sacks in his final college season, he boasts an impressive 86.8 PFF pass-rush grade. His development under Garrett’s guidance could elevate his performance significantly, allowing him to draw attention away from Garrett on the field. This dynamic partnership has the potential to transform the Browns' defense into a formidable unit.
