Graham won't be available but if he miraculously is, thank whatever God you believe in that he's still available at 9, don't take more than 10 seconds and pick the frick out of Graham. He is the guy IMO.

LOL. According to who? This guy is not a generational DT.

Everything I’ve seen about Graham suggests his ceiling is an all pro who can anchor a defensive line. Even his floor is pretty high. Only real knocks I see on him is his height being an issue with longer armed OL and pass rush arsenal. (Which he can work on with coaching)

If a DT is looked as a top 5 prospect, he’s basically a generational talent at the position.

I said this weeks ago on here. It wouldn’t suprise me if he slips because DT isn’t a money position.



but the position has become a luxury.

Disrupters like him that play with leverage just don't grow on trees.

Jalen Carter slipped out the top ten but that was mostly b/c of off the field issues.


maybe its also because teams don't do their proper homework. They are more concerned with the negative back lash due to recent bias. Teams like that are losers.

That could have been the Saints pick but they traded away the farm for Chris Olave instead.

With the Eagles success this year, it may keep Graham up high now.


it could but that is far from a guarantee.

Doubt seriously that either, much less both, will be there

ONLY Jeanty MIGHT be there at #9.

Monitor the mock drafts.

Kiper’s mock from today has Graham going at 5, Jeanty at 6, and McMillan at 22

Eh. Mocks are fairly useless right now.

After all of the pro days when the amateur mocksters start to catch up with what teams actually think they start to get a better idea of the approximate range of most players.

Graham has issues. He is constantly out of position and can let regain the mistakes after he over pursues.


And despite that he's a top 10 pick by literally every draft source

Graham’s running mate Kenneth Grant (6’3” 340) is who we should have our eye on in Rd2. May jump into the first after the combine

He's the type of player we really need, to be honest. Have to get a guy at some point that can be a Nose.

There are starting caliber running backs who will be available in the 3rd and 4th round. It's a deep class for rb. No way would I take Jeanty at #9.

Graham and McMillan look like generational talents, but we need Graham so much more. I honestly believe that McMillan is the best offensive weapon in the draft, and looks like a Larry Fitzgerald clone. Graham is a 10 year starter on the D-line. I'd be thrilled with either pick.

There's almost no situation where I can justify Jeanty at 9, no matter how good he is.

My order would be:

1. Graham - no brainer, need a stud DT. He and Bresee would be awesome
2. OL, DL or TE
3. OL, DL or TE


Need to stop the run and protect the passer, #1 & #1a.

Need to spend at least 3, maybe 4 picks (2, maybe 3 if we pickup a decent vet) on Defensive front 7 & versatile Safety.

Spend at least 1 or 2 picks (maybe just 1 if we pick up a decent vet) on OL.

Would be nice to add a WR, CB or RB but save that for later in the draft. We saw last year before all the injuries that Olave, Shaheed and Kamara alone can be decent "front line" players if the OLine is decent/healthy.

I'd like to think that Kellen Moore is a legit "wizard" offensively and can get the offense back to respectable on scheme and play-calling alone, allowing us to invest draft/free agent capital heavily on rejuvenating the defense and getting pieces important to the 4-3 to 3-4 transition.

Yes, Drew Brees was the greatest QB ever IMO, but Payton also had us at 5-2 with freakin' Jameis, 3-1 with Taysom (78.2% comp. and 4-2 TD/INT), and 5-0 with Teddy because he's an offensive wizard. That's 13-3 with backup QBs!


I'm not convinced the rebuild MUST include another losing season--maybe not true contenders next year, but with a pair of good drafts and a few FA pieces it's not out of the realm of possibility that we can be contending in 2026.

What about McMillan is generational?

I’m not trying to dog the guy. I just have read a good bit about him not being overly fast, not getting great separation, just running ok routes, and just being a big guy with great hands. If he runs in the high 4.5s /low 4.6s I could seem him dropping a lot.

It would be nice if someone at picks 10-13 really wanted Jeanty and would give a few picks to move up to get him at 9.

Graham would be ideal. Playing next to Bresee would be fun to watch.
