Strengths

Graham is the kind of interior defender that opposing offenses always try, and fail, to avoid. A powerful presence at the point of attack, Graham has a stout frame that packs a punch against both the run and pass. He’s got impressive agility and quickness for his size, allowing him to explode into the opposing backfield and blow up plays before they start. He can push the pocket from the inside as a pass rusher, and he’s effective when asked to generate pressure on stunts and other rushing games. He’s quick to diagnose plays, which gives him the ability to consistently be in the right place and neutralize the ball-carrier.

Weaknesses

There’s a lack of ideal length with Graham that might be concerning for some NFL teams, and it shows up at times against bigger, more powerful interior blockers who force him to struggle to shed blocks. He shows flashes of effective hand usage as both a pass rusher and a run defender, but there are also long stretches of inconsistency that need to be cleaned up. He can pop up too quickly out of his stance, taking away his leverage with poor pad level off the snap.

Final Analysis

A well-rounded prospect with a high floor, Graham is the kind of interior presence that any defense can build its identity around. He still needs to be more consistent with some of his technique if he wants to take his game to the next level, but all the physical and mental traits are there for Graham to quickly develop into a dominant playmaker early in his NFL career.
