He has the size, quickness and speed (4.43) to be effective in the NFL especially if someone like Jason Taylor could take him under his wing and show him how to be really effective. I'd like to see him put on some weight because 260 means 245 in Miami. I'd take a look at him but I think right now LB or WR are our main positions of intrest in the 1st round.

If he's the BPA when we pick at 12 (not likely) or if he's still there in the second round (again not likely) I'd grab him up.

He looks good from what I see on this video, but it seems to be mostly from one game, so I'll take it with a grain of salt. Who is #63?

I'm a big fan of Graham. It will be interesting to see how he's used at the Senior Bowl this week. At 263 lbs, he has the size that Parcells likes for an OLB. He definitely does not run a 4.43 as was mentioned above. A 4.43 would make him much faster than any WR on our roster not named Ginn. Graham is expected to be around a 4.6-4.7 guy, which is still faster than a couple of our WR.

Please don't focus on 40 time. As a strength and conditioning coach, the 40 is only applicable to the draft, once you get on the field 40 time doesn't matter. Watch how fast he is off the ball (the same trait that made JT such a great pass rusher), he is a high motor guy and a high character guy who was a leader even during Michigan's uncharacteristically bad seasons the past two years. The mock draft I saw on walterfootball.com had him going to the Pats a pick behind us in the second round. I think he is a much better player than Sergio Kindle who seems one dimensional to me.

Kindle does seem to be a one-trick pony, from what I've seen. We've already got one of those in Cameron Wake. Graham looks to be a more rounded player. However, I've really only seen these guys on recent videos, the ones I take with a grain-or a ton- of salt.

RE: dolfanmark "Quote from the Detroit News" He (Brandon Graham) had run a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at the Nike Summer football camp.

Apparently he was at one time...although he may not be that fast now.

With linemen and even pass rushing OLB, I'm more worried about what they can do in the 10m dash than the 40yd dash. If any of these guys are running 40yds in a straight line they are either taking one to the house or something very bad is happening on defense.

Anybody happen to watch the senior bowl? 5 tackles, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble in limited snaps. Good enough to win Senior Bowl MVP. Teammates nicknamed him "Duracell" all week because he never stops working.

He won't be there in the second

may go in the first round this year. guy looks like Dwight Freeney size and quickness wise. worth a hard look.

Misi looked pretty good. Misi , Scheffield, O'brian Schofield, Antonio Colemann, Eric Norwood, Dekoda Watsdon, Washington & Sharpton could be possible late round picks

As far as prototypical LB size you have to consider the Zach Thomas Elvis Dumervil's who everyone labeled as being too small.

schofield blew out his acl

Graham was a beast. Very impressive.

I liked Watson from FL state too. He looked quick and made some plays.

I think Graham moved up some lists after that game.
