Big, Versatile Michigan OL With NFL-Caliber Size
Braden was a mauling, position-flexible Michigan offensive lineman whose rare size (6'6", 329) and experience at guard and tackle made him attractive as a depth-and-development fit. At Michigan, he earned All-Big Ten recognition and started 36 of 38 career games, signaling durability and trust from coaches; however, PFF’s scouting report noted technique issues, including balance problems in the run game and pressure allowed in 2016. He fit best as a steady, plug-and-play competitor for teams valuing length, strength, and versatility over polished dominance.[10][8][2]
