The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Mason Graham, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Mason Graham’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Mason Graham is a well-built interior disruptor with outstanding first-step quickness and good overall athleticism. He lacks prototypical length for the position but makes up for it with quickness, power, and instincts.
As a pass rusher, Graham displays elite explosiveness and penetration ability, stressing interior offensive linemen up gaps.
He can create angle advantages with his burst and agility, and then capitalize on mismatches with his violent torque and power output. Graham is a very loose mover for his size and shows outstanding body control and flexibility, and his low center of gravity infuses his leverage game in both phases.
His middling length can cause him to lurch at times, but overall, he’s a phenomenal two-phase prospect with impact starter upside.
2025 NFL Draft Landing Spot for Mason Graham
With the fifth pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Graham. Though the Browns weren’t a common landing spot for Graham, the fifth overall pick was the most commonly mocked position for Graham.
The Browns traded back with the Jacksonville Jaguars to receive the fifth overall pick and select Graham.
Mason Graham’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Graham landed in Round 1 with the fifth overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
The Jacksonville Jaguars are picking in the top five—a combination as frequent as a head coach change in Duval. Mason Graham may struggle with stalled pass-rush moves against power, but when he succeeds, he does so quickly and decisively. The Jags need elite talent wherever it’s available, and Graham delivers on that front.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Graham’s selection to the Jaguars in Round 1, also with the fifth pick:
Mason Graham is poised to be the next defensive tackle from Ann Arbor to produce in the NFL regularly. He appears to be a perfect fit for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who did not address any of their line issues during free agency.
In three seasons with the Michigan Wolverines, Graham totaled 108 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and nine sacks. The 6’3″, 300-pound California native is the kind of trench plug that can fill the top of the depth chart for the next decade.
