The draft is tomorrow and weakness is seeping into my mind. If Graham is within striking distance...I wouldn't be mad if Lynch jumped up to grab him. Imagine how good fans and the organization will feel on Friday going into day 2 knowing Mason Graham is a 49er.

Can you imagine if Graham fell to us and we passed? Sad thing is, I can. It would be a repeat of last year for me when Cooper DeJean fell in our laps and they passed; except much worse lol

Only Nolen or Stewart would ease that blow even then I'd be pissed but those two have the highest ceilings in the draft

Although, I can fix that real quick after seeing pff's nflse final mock. Graham falls to 11 and he's not the pick.

I'm still on the Kenneth Grant bandwagon...but if Graham falls to no. 11 I'd have no problem with it. Lynch will still need to pick another DT...and I was thinking Darius Alexander or Jamaree Caldwell (Ore).

In his final college game, Graham wrecked the high-powered offense of the eventual national champions. While plugging the middle, Graham led the charge in shutting down Ohio State's vaunted rushing attack. He also logged a career-high seven tackles as Michigan, a three-touchdown underdog, stunned the Buckeyes 13-10 for its fourth straight win in the rivalry.

"He just physically [controlled] that entire offensive line," said Wolverines defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, who coached almost two decades in the NFL before joining the Wolverines last year. "You can definitely tell his wrestling background with the way he plays because of his balance. He knows how to use his hands better than a lot of players in the league right now."

DESPITE HIS CLEAR potential, Graham was largely overlooked in high school. COVID-19 wiped out much of his junior season, limiting game film and exposure. He remained a three-star recruit, even though he was already budding into a star.

Two of his Servite teammates -- quarterback Noah Fifita and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan -- both committed to Arizona. Fifita's father, Les, tried to get the Wildcats to take a chance on Graham as well.

The chances of both Graham and Nolen both being there at #11 is getting to be more of a very real possibility, I would think the 99'ers coaches and scouts are having some very intense debates about which one of the two. (If any) Would they want. "If both are there, I like Nolen's "High motor" and Higher Ceiling "I just see him getting to the Qb , On, a more regular basis even though he might not get a sack "but" he adversely negatively affects the Qb as a Pressure at the very least (And he makes it look easier than what I see from Graham..Nolen's production this season was better

2024 season
Nolen: Total Tackles for loss: 14, Sacks 6.5 Total PBU: 3

Graham Total Tackles for loss:7 Sacks3.5 Total PBU: 3

Hope its Nolen "If it's between both" Graham and Nolen ....I just think Nolen would be a better fit in the SF type of Defensive scheme.

I'd rather have the one that comes without any character concerns or motivation issues considering the 49ers recent history of repeatedly getting burnt by guys like that.

Please let this happen, I'll even give some capital to move up a bit

Agreed. Graham is a beast. You run the card up if he's there at 11. That said, I'd be happy if we rolled the dice on Nolen should Graham be gone. Either guy should make an instant impact at the center of this defense.
