Michigan fans praise Cleveland Browns pick of Mason Graham, laugh at the irony

There wasn't a consensus No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, but if you ask fans of the Michigan Wolverines, the Cleveland Browns just won the draft with their selection of Mason Graham.

Travis Hunter might have been ranked by some as the No. 1 player in the draft. In a few years, though, we could be looking back at Mason Graham as a steal, even as a top-5 pick. It's also great for Cleveland to draft a player with experience winning in Ohio (twice in Columbus).

Scott Bell, who is always good for a perfect quip on social media, authored the perfect post as usual.

"If there's someone who knows to win in Ohio, it's Mason Graham."

Graham, a junior defensive tackle for Michigan football was a consensus All-American for the Wolverines this past season. He finished his career with 18 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and 108 total tackles. Graham also owns a 3-0 record over Ohio State.

Sam Webb of The Michigan Insider called it a "great" pick. Graham said he was excited to get to work and would do "everything he can" to help the Cleveland Browns win.

Steve Lorenz posted that he loves how Ohio State fans, who also like the Browns, will be forced to love Mason Graham. "Inject Buckeye fans having to be forced to love Michigan stars into my veins."

It's ironic that the man who mocked Jack Sawyer after "The Game" will try and help lead the rebuild of the Browns. Outside of that, Graham is the best defensive player available in the 2025 NFL draft.

The Browns landed him fifth overall, after landing a haul in a trade with the Jaguars. It was smart business, and Michigan football fans know exactly how good a move it was.
