Overview

• The Cleveland Browns traded the No. 2 overall pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, moving down to No. 5 and gaining an extra first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
• With the No. 5 pick, the Browns selected Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, a two-time All-American and 2023 Rose Bowl MVP.
• Graham recorded 45 tackles, including seven for loss and 3.5 sacks, during his junior season at Michigan before declaring for the draft.
• Scouts praise Graham’s elite first-step explosiveness, leverage, and relentless motor but note concerns about his below-average arm length.
• The Browns aim to bolster their interior run defense with Graham following the departure of veteran defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson.
