Post-Draft Outlook: A closer look at the Eagles' draft picks: Round 1/13 -- Brandon Graham, DE, 6-1 1/2, 268, Michigan: The Eagles traded up 11 spots from No. 24 to No. 13 to get Graham. The Eagles feel Graham can be the ideal left-end pass-rushing compliment to Pro Bowl right end Trent Cole. Graham is sort of a Cole clone: Undersized, but a high play-to-the-whistle motor. - by The Sports Xchange

He's a different type of player. He's more into your body. He uses different types of moves. But he's a good player."
