Strengths
Graham has solid athleticism for his size. He is able to quickly shed blockers and has been a reliable force for the Longhorns in the run game. He has a high motor and has shown the ability to chase down plays that are many yards down field.
Weaknessess
Despite his athleticism, Graham hasn't shown a great ability to rush the passer, racking up only 6 sacks in four years at Texas. This is especially concerning in a conference like the Big 12, where passing is so prevalent. He also hasn't really shown the necessary strength to be an above average starter at the next level. Graham is average at a lot of things but doesn't really excel anywhere.
Big Picture
A big disadvantage for Graham is the fact that he has put on so much weight since he came to Texas. When he originally committed to Texas, he was a 255 pound, weakside edge rusher. 40 lbs later, he's an interior defender. Some teams may view this as an advantage, since he should have the pass rush ability of a defensive end with the size of an in interior lineman. At best, Graham is a late day 3 pick for someone who views him as an developmental project. However, I wouldn't expect him to ever be more than a career backup.
