Brandom Graham was also doing this all week at the Senior Bowl practice against the North's offensive line. Vladimir Ducasse, Zane Beadles, and Mike Iupati were all getting beat by Graham.

That's typical of the Senior Bowl though. Every year the defensive ends and 4-3 tackles have the best showing and the offensive line guys the worst.
However, Graham is a stud. I don't know if he gives you anything over Hali at this point though. I don't think that he's versatile enough to play upright on the left side of the formation so by picking him you are saying that he's Hali's immediate replacement. They'd do better by getting a guy like Kindle or Misi who can play either side effectively and not get hung up in pass coverage.
