If hes there at 8 the Panthers are going to take him, no need to waste a formal interview on him

[Basbear]

40% he's there at 8, up from 30%.

reports are teams didn't like his combine and he's dropped among some teams. 

 

I think by the time  the draft starts, the odds will be higher.

 

I don't know how to feel about this, graham on the Panthers?!?!? I am more of a nolen fan, but......idk..

This would be my assumption. He's probably not gonna be there and we're gonna take him if he is so use the limited formals on other prospects.

I think he will be. Look at recent draft history, DT is like TE, teams just don't use top 8 picks on them. Panthers and Jets have and they are the two worst teams in the last ten years. 

He weighed in light and everyone somewhat knew about his short arms, some teams dropped him down their boards. 

I think he will be there at 8. 40& rn

***rumor***

 

There are records that graham played at 320 during the year, he gets to the combine and weighs in at 296. He and his team claim its cause he suffered an injury that prevented him from working out. I heard he got off the PEDs. I dont know which teams are buying the excuses.

If PED use is true he might drop a lot

He falls out of the top ten. Probably goes 13th-16th.

It just depends on what information these team believe. He was a former wrestler, they are know for using gas.....

Dropping 25-35 LBs is sus no matter. The kicker was Michigan recorded his weight weekly and it was around 320-330 per coaches on the staff. 

Ankle injury or whatever, he still shouldn't lost that much that soon. You still lift and rehab and hell, players gain weight as well. It's something that needs more time and the truth will reveal. Hes not the first to gas it up while in college. 

[Basbear]

Michigan had there pro-day.

He didn't do much, some drills- no 40, 3 cones etc etc.

His weight is 306 up 10 LBs from combine

Said his weight " His body is used to fluctuating weight " hmmmm

He said teams do not care about his weight after watching film, surrrrrre pal.....

 

I don't think he helped his draft stock or fully answered the weight questions, given his answer was "they don't care" which is a lie.

No chance I'd spend #8 on a nose tackle.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to be slimming down to 296 and then just do the bench at the combine. Then bulk up to 306 for the Pro Day and also barely do anything.

I am guessing he is comfortable standing pat on his film, which suggests that he either has a basic range he has been guaranteed to go or he is flat out hiding some suspect athleticism.
