After trading the second overall pick to Jacksonville, Cleveland Browns selected Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham at No. 5 in the NFL draft on Thursday night, Joe Reedy of The Associated Press reports.

Graham was a first-team selection on the Associated Press All-America team. He had 45 tackles, 7.0 sacks and 3 1/2 tackles for loss last season. Graham was the defensive MVP of the Rose Bowl during Michigan’s national championship season in 2023.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry opted to go for draft picks instead of taking Heisman Trophy winner and Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter, who the Jaguars moved up to take.
