Overview

  • Mason Graham is the Browns’ second 2025 draft pick to sign after quarterback Shedeur Sanders agreed to terms last week.
  • The 21-year-old Michigan standout will wear No. 94 and is expected to strengthen Cleveland’s interior pass rush.
  • Cleveland acquired the fifth pick by trading down from No. 2 in a swap with Jacksonville to gain extra draft assets.
  • The four-year deal averages $10.2 million per year under the NFL’s slotted rookie compensation for a top-five selection.
  • The addition of Graham bolsters a defensive front that already features Pro Bowler Myles Garrett and rising edge rusher Mike Hall Jr.
