Ta’Quon Graham, DT

Grade: 77.8

For a defensive line that struggled last season, it was interesting to see a defensive end as the highest-rated returning player in 2019. Graham finished second on the team on tackles for loss last season with 10.5, only falling behind Joseph Ossai. His 2.5 sacks finished fourth.

Going into 2020, Graham is going to be the starting defensive tackle, just inside of Ossai. In Chris Ash’s new 4-3 defense, the pass rush is bound to improve. Add in Graham’s ability to play against the run and the defensive line is going to improve this upcoming season.
