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. 

He certainly doesn't look very athletic but you can't always tell by that.

Yep, this has gotten very odd. I mean not to rail on the guy or nothing, but did people see him at the combine??

I mean Stacy dales is 6'0, but is she also 230 LBs?? He was a monster in film many times, but the eye test here is down right puzzling- Thats the smallest 6'4 296 person Ive seen. I maybe fooled by camera angle, but geez, he looks like a LS......

 

Plus has any other OLmen or DLmen lost 25-35 LBs ?? I think shemar lost weight, but he showed up looking like a Greek god and had insane measurables. 

Plus sure others are not doing drills, but Graham didn't do nothing drill wise. He is only guy I know of that "lost" 25-35 LBs and now gained back 10. I did learn he said his heel is injuries for the main excuse. (???)

It's super sus. That PED rumor maybe legit.

Nah, as I stated in the other forum he just looks like he wasn't in the best shape and was toting around a healthy chunk of bad weight when you look at 2024 pics. 

I suspect PEDS very, very, VERY much less than perhaps this dude is not really doing what it takes in terms of diet/nutrition/workouts/etc. 

And, if that were actually true, that is a concern by itself.

Also have to gauge if he is a guy that wants to be a physical specimen at the next level. If so, he could be an unstoppable force if you get him on the right track.

 

Overall, I don't think the speculation is any big reason to worry.

 Again, odd answer by him. When teams asked how or why he lost the weight, " I hurt my ankle/heel and it prevented me from working out". So he was resting and letting his heel "heal". In that process he lost 25 LBs, any other DT have that happen??

Lots of gym rats take gas and look fat, that's one of the side effects water retention. A few of them are former wrestlers just like graham.

I mean....seriously, at his weight and body type dropping 25 lbs is not a huge deal. It's discipline.

I think 80% chance he's there at 8 on draft day.

Even if he is, I think Panthers pass.... I'd about 90% sure of that. 

Depends on who gets their way in the draft room. Right Nicole wants Graham so he's the front runner

Do we have a picture of a hug between Nicole and Graham?? It could be a lock.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
