Do you think JG is an "elite" TE?

He's good, maybe even great. I don't know.
I just wouldn't classify him as "elite".
Guess thats why I'm an electrician and not football coach/agent

There's legitimate argument to be made either way.

The thing about Graham is, he really shouldn't be considered a TE. They don't bring him in on blocking downs and he only lines up tight on 1/3 of the plays he's in.

If he's a TE he's top 3 at his position. If he's a receiver he's arguably top 15 top 20...maybe even worse. That boy ain't no WR just because he doesn't block well.

No, he's a wide receiver because he plays the wide receiver position twice as often as he plays tight end.

Compared to all receivers Jimmy was
1st in touchdowns
9th in plays over 20 yards
13th in receptions
15th in total yards

Compared to TEs Jimmy was
1st in touchdowns
1st in plays over 20 yards
1st in receptions
1st in yards

Jimmy is "elite" vs soft competition, but we need someone to show up in big games.

No. He is an average 3rd string blocking TE. Probably should just play special teams.
