Sam Monson said Miami can squeeze real fantasy value out of first-rounder Kenneth Grant if they refuse to pigeon-hole him as a 340-pound, two-down nose. Monson highlighted Grant’s rare movement skills for his size—sub-5.0 forty range speed, nimble feet, and the ability to chase a running back 30 yards downfield on tape. He likened the Michigan product to Alan Branch or even BJ Raji in a ‘nose-tackle body, three-tech play style’ mold and noted that Grant’s best college reps came via quickness, swim moves, and interior penetration rather than taking on double teams. Grant logged nearly 550 snaps last season (200 more than Jordan Davis ever managed at Georgia) and improved each year, easing concerns about conditioning and workload. If new DC Anthony Weaver “lets him cook” on passing downs, Monson believes Grant can be a three-down force who pushes for 6–8 sacks as a rookie and instantly upgrades Miami’s fantasy D/ST while emerging as a dynasty IDP sleeper at a scarce defensive tackle position.

Chris Raybon recommended betting Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant to be a first-round pick at –110, calling the price essentially a money-back special. Raybon highlighted Grant’s "dancing bear" movement skills—337 lbs with a 1.68 ten-yard split and 32 reps on the bench—and noted that multiple trench-hungry playoff teams (Chiefs, Eagles, Lions) pick in the 20s. With SIS grading Grant as the No. 3 interior defender and positional scarcity after Mason Graham and Derek Harmon, Raybon believes clubs will not risk waiting until Friday. He projects a >60 % chance Grant sneaks into the final dozen picks, making –110 a profitable lay.

Ryan Wilson backed Jonathan Jones’ chalky projection of Michigan nose tackle Kenneth Grant to Pittsburgh at 21, arguing the front office is far less enamored with Shedeur Sanders than draft Twitter believes. Grant weighed 339 lbs at the combine yet clocked a ridiculous 4.88 forty, numbers that would give Mike Tomlin his most explosive interior lineman since prime Casey Hampton. The Steelers allowed 4.6 yards per carry in second‑level runs last year, and Wilson says their analytics department graded run‑defense EPA as the roster’s biggest weak spot. Passing on quarterback again leaves Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to battle for 2024 snaps, but Ryan insisted the organization is comfortable punting that issue to 2026 drafts if it means locking down the A‑gaps now. He highlighted the +180 price on “Steelers first drafted position: Defensive Line” as a playable wager.

Pat Mayo pushed for Kenneth Grant at pick 16, saying Arizona’s front office "needs juice anywhere it can get it" on the interior. Grant, a 340‑pounder who still flashes 3‑tech quickness, posted a 12.8 % pressure rate at Michigan and led all FBS interior linemen with 30 run stops last season. Mayo noted that Jonathan Gannon’s defense finished dead‑last in EPA per rush and ranked bottom‑three in interior pass‑rush win rate, making Grant’s rare blend of mass and penetration skills an ideal fit. With most books still listing Grant’s draft slot around 22.5, Mayo advised taking the Under and sprinkling on ‘First defensive tackle drafted’ props before the combine freak vaults into the top‑15 consensus.
