The Cleveland Browns had a draft to remember in 2025. Of course, taking Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round has been making all the headlines. The fact that they took Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon two rounds earlier has made it even more interesting.
However, it is their top draft pick who is currently facing massive scrutiny.

According to Nick Meyer of Athon Sports:
Fans, media and Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, along with his coaching staff, got a chance to see the rookies up close and personal this weekend, including first round selection Mason Graham, who became the subject of a video viewed nearly six million times on Sunday.
NFL insider John Frascella posted a video of Graham working through drills in Berea, Ohio before casting doubt on the selection in a video that drew thousands of reactions as of Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t care what anyone says, this is not a 5th overall pick in the NFL Draft, you can’t draft people on ‘name value,'” Frascella wrote.

Fans had a wide range of takes in the comments with some taking up for Graham and others criticizing the Browns’ draft pick alongside Frascella.
“The kid PIT took, Derrick Harmon, looks like the real deal,” one said. “Would have picked him every day of the week and twice on Sunday over Graham.”
“Agreed…Very overhyped. A very Cleveland draft pick,” another added.
Frascella compared Graham’s footage to footage of Dolphins rookie Kenneth Grant, whom he called a “monster” on the field.
“Wait, just wait. You will see. And learn. Wait..,” another added, appearing to take Graham’s side in the debate.
“Dude this gimmick is getting old,” another fan said of Frascella.
“You’re better than this. Showing a 20 second clip as proof of someone being a bust is horrible rage bait.”
“Still think he’ll end up being a stud, especially playing alongside Myles (Garrett),” another added.
