Mason Graham Reportedly to Visit Browns and Raiders, B/R's No. 3 Prospect in NFL Draft

Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham will meet with the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders this week ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Browns and Raiders pick second and sixth respectively in the first round. Graham, meanwhile, is the No. 3 overall player on Bleacher Report's big board.

Cleveland and Las Vegas could be in the market for a quarterback in the first round.

Deshaun Watson is bound to spend most or all of the 2025 season recovering from his second Achilles tear. Team owner Jimmy Haslam describing Watson's contract as "a big swing and miss" is probably revealing about how the franchise views the three-time Pro Bowler too.

The Raiders acquired Geno Smith and handed him a two-year extension, but Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio explained the deal may not preclude the team from adding another QB.

Bringing Graham in for a personal visit is a sign the teams continue to examine all of their options. This also reflects how highly the 2024 All-American is graded within this class.

B/R NFL scout Dame Parson compared Graham to Raiders lineman Christian Wilkins, a 2019 first-rounder who parlayed his five years with the Miami Dolphins into a $110 million contract from Las Vegas.

"As a pass-rusher, Graham is still learning how to use his hands consistently and his lack of top-tier arm length might be a bigger issue at the next level," Parson wrote.

"However, he has the movement skills to develop a good arsenal of pass-rush moves and has already flashed a decent hand-swipe and swim move. Also, he has the strength to collapse the pocket as a bull rusher when he uses good leverage."

Picking a defensive tackle in the top 10 isn't usually a way for a team to excite its fanbase on draft day. In the case of Graham, it's easy to see why he's on Cleveland and Las Vegas' radar.
