I gave this one a quick click to whet the ol' beak and I'm excited to see some clips. Go Blue! If we got Graham, I'm not just burrito supreme. I'm a seven layers of nacho supreme with fire sauce.

I doubt he drops but he’s my numero uno want if he does
There's always a guy that drops when they're not predicted to. Some other teams ahead of the Bears are stupid so anything is possible.

Do I think he drops? No. But I didn't think Jalen Carter would either.

Valid point. Anything is possible on draft day.
His alligator arms could drop him to us. Never know

So I'm not gonna lie, I'm about to go turn on the past few years of Mich/OSU and revel in some past glory. I'm canceling plans and I'll just see y'all tomorrow. It's a good time to be a Michigan fan; even greater if Mason Graham ends up wearing our colors!

OP's post is right on in that you can get excited for Graham. I think we all know he's a top dog in the draft, and I would call it crazy to pass him up over a measuring stick when he's got a mile of game film showing elite traits. If I see him slip to us, then I'd laugh my way to my computer chair as I order a jersey before the pick is announced. It's kind of ridiculous that this guy has room to get stronger - he's already built a reputation as being an ox against top talent. Case in point, the clips posted above.

I'm adamant that I want OL to take priority over any other position in the draft - Graham is the rare prospect that makes it a hard choice. If Poles brings home Graham and doubles down on OL with his following picks, I'll ATTEMPT a backflip. There are three defenders that I'd be willing to take over a top tackle prospect, and if you take out my blue blood I'd still say the same.

I’d take Graham over any player in this draft. It almost makes me mad we beat the Packers and lost 3 spots…ALMOST!!!!Actually no. Puck the Fackers

As long as Poles isn't p!ssing away the 10th pick on an OG or an OT that's going to be an OG I'd be great with this

I'd prefer Walter Nolen in round one and Tyliek Williams in round 2. For a starting DT tandem.

However I'd be damn near just as content if Poles took Graham in round one and Omar Norman Lott in round 2, also for a starting DT tandem.

I'm not convinced there's an OL worthy of a Top-10 pick.

Two years ago when they landed Wright it was a pretty good year for OL. I wasn't convinced they got one of the best OTs.

Last year Alt was between very good and elite and he turned out to be elite. I thought they had OT mostly settled but now it's a complete do over.

I can respect that, because Michigan is awesome and puts out top prospects!

I honestly can't disagree - I haven't seen enough college ball this year to say anything reasonable about a lineman not being top ten. I like Kelvin Banks but right now, he's the only top lineman prospect I've seen play more than two games.

I will say that I liked Wright (and still do) enough that in the rearview mirror, that is still the right pick. I personally fear that Caleb Williams will be sacked into playing like "Caleb Carr" if Poles doesnt put his best resources into OL these next couple years, and we'll have wasted the best throwing talent this team has had in years. So I'm not going to one to criticize overdrafting a player that someone projects as the fifteenth best or something, if it brings in the best talent we can get to protect Caleb. But as I said above, going with a top defensive talent like Graham and doubling down on OL will make me skip gleefully like a child (and honestly, I'm turning into a fan of Emmanwori, but I'm still trying to make time to watch more college ball so I'm staying reserved there - that to say that I am open to all the directions in the first round that Poles can go)

Oh man, I don't think I ever thought we had a chance at Alt. But dag a player like him would be good for a fan like me.

Jalen carter had major character concerns and showed up to his pro day out of shape and couldnt finish it.

This isnt the same situation. I heavily doubt graham makes it to #10, shit may not even leave the top 5

With the way the SB went, I highhhhly doubt he makes it to 10, but the depth is there in this draft so it’s a possibility. Poles better fucking not screw it up if he does…

I'm old fashioned and character counts a lot for me.
