Godspeed, Brandon Graham

EXCUSE ME WHERE IS THE GOAL LINE DEMOLITION OF WINSTON

Made that one out of love.

woo hoo!

Great pick by the birds. Welcome to Philly Brandon.

I just became an Eagles fan

That town luuuvs them some Eagles. If Brandon can be all he can be there, he will own that town.

Best of luck, Brandon. Glad you went to a good team. And thanks!

Good luck to you Brandon Graham. Destroy things in the NFC East.

Also, remember, Week 2 Eagles at Lions. It's the home opener, so it might not be blacked out here in Detroit.

One of my favorite M players ever and the closest thing I've seen to a one-man defense. Here's to eating QB's faces and double-digit pro-bowls.

The goal line demolition of Winston is AWESOME! Can't watch that highlight enough!!!

There will be alot of "sack bitches, num, num, num" with BG in the NFL. Congrats to a true Michigan Man.

BG was the heart and soul of this team through some very trying times, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

He has a heart of gold, and Philly fans are lucky to have him.

A little surprised to see them describing him as a pass-rushing specialist. Disappointed they didn't show the clip of him destroying Winston in the backfield.

Good pick by the Eagles. I'ma Giant fan and was hoping for BG at 15

I would like to request that hit on Winston also be included in any posts that require kittens. Much like kittens, it never fails to brighten my day.

Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do at the next level. College just became too easy for him...good luck BG!

I am terrified

Keeps showing his position as OLB....is it really a forgone conclusion that he'll be playing LB and not DE?
Or is the WWL just being annoying as usual?

Seconds 3 through 6 of the MSU video are interesting. I may need to watch them 100 more times.

Where is my Brandon Graham Eagles jersey?

the third Michigan player on the Eagles roster. BG will join Jason Avant and Marlin Jackson. This blitz crazy defense that Philly runs will make Brandon Graham a star in the NFL. The Eagles always seem to draft well. The fact that the Eagles traded up to get Brandon Graham-very cool. NFL scouts were blown away with the hustle this player showed on the field.

For everybody that snickered at Michigan for not having a draft pick last year, when this year BG is the first pick taken from the Big Ten, I got one word for you...

Hail.

BG stayed. And BG is a champion.

That is the sound I will be making in Week 2 when the Lions have the ball. Kind of like when I'm playing Madden, those plays when you press one of the passing buttons and nothing happens, and you look up and see that your quarterback is trying to figure out where that field-level camera is.

I'll expect a lot of film breakdown of that game on the various networks. "You see here how Graham split the double-team and got to Stafford easily." "On this play he's matched up against Pettigrew, one of the better young TEs, and it's a mismatch, as Graham is in the backfield almost before the ball is handed off." "Watch here as Graham actually lifts up the turf and ripples it, knocking all 11 Lions off their feet and causing a fumble."

watched each of those clips like 10 times.... really happy for the guy, but arggh am I gonna miss watching those plays... oh the conflicting emotions!

No sugar coat.

I gave Brian some grief one time about inflating BG's scores in UFR's; for shame, I just didn't understand yet.

If can I raise my kids to carry themselves and perform, in whatever endeavor, the way he did under those circumstances then my life's mission will be accomplished. No excuses, no bitchin'; just 100%. Every. Single. Time.

*Greatest of all Time

I have always disliked the Eagles except when they play the Cowboys. Now, I will have to watch BG and Philly destroy the NFC East.

BG will surprise many, early and often in 2010.

HAIL!

I am the happiest person ever

It was infuriating to see Bulaga ranked above Graham on most mocks when Graham had so throroughly destroyed him. Good to see Graham go higher.

Immense...he just vaporizes Winston.

Brandon Graham is a class act and a great football player, I'm glad to see him go to a quality team. Maybe he will be able to teach the degenerate philly sports fans how to act like respectable human beings. A lot of philly fans resemble the choir boys in columbus, that's why there is a jail located within lincoln financial stadium.

The Quad did a quick post on each first round draft pick, looking at the impact of each player's departure to their college team. Here is their take on BG and the M defense:

Nothing earth shattering here. Names our predicted starters and touches on the defensive scheme change/non-change. It's clear that Graham's shoes will not be filled by any one individual.

Stewart Bradley is wearing the #55 in green.

#54 and #52 are currently available.

Talk about jacked up.

Though I am surprised that St. Winston didn't ascend over Graham and float into the endzone borne aloft by seraphim......

even if I wasn't a Michigan fan.

To see someone of his mettle achieve excellence over the years is certainly special. May we be so lucky to bear witness for years to come.

It's going to be cool to watch his fanbase explode.

Go Blue!

It was awesome he got drafted by the Eagles. They have crazy blitz packages so he will have a chance to be very successful. Always a class act and will always be one of my favorite Michigan players ever.

It's hard to pass Woodson, but BG might just be my favorite Michigan defensive player of all time. Between his play and his personality, and his love for the University of Michigan, he's about all you can ask for. Great, great college player, should be a great pro as well.

Good luck BG!
