This shows we should have drafted one of the highly rated TEs in round one because now we are thin at the position.

Note here is a link to his injury history:

This means Krull makes the team.

Hope Grambeaux is OK .

People are jumping to conclusions that this medical episode means Graham isn't making the team. Let's wait and see. Many were already wrong assuming that it was some substance abuse issue. Once they figure out what caused the incident they should be able to control it. He's no less a capable player today than he was in practice the day before.

It doesn't even mean Graham doesn't make the team. Let's wait to see what happens.

I would venture to guess that the team was already aware that Graham was subject to seizures. It's likely there are other players in the league dealing with them, as well. Saints writer Ross Jackson says it's something he has dealt with personally for years.

Will TMZ recant their story of an arrest?

They have updated their earlier report with the information about the medical situation with the following ...

UPDATE 9:59 AM PT -- The Saints just addressed Graham's arrest ... saying the tight end experienced a "medical episode" Friday night, which resulted in him becoming disoriented.
After he was taken into custody, the team says Graham was sent to a nearby hospital to get checked out.
The Saints added Graham likely suffered a seizure ... and spent the night in the medical facility to receive further testing. He is now back with the team.


So, yes, it does appear that they "recanted" their original story.

We are thin at kicker too, both kickers have made some errors, but it doesnt mean we should have drafted a kicker in the 1st round.

Here is a case where Graham probably had a concussion that didnt get reported:

Even sub concussion hits add up. Soccer players who do more headers have more neurological problems later in life.

Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau are examples of a good way to develop the TE position. They were limited cost and have performed well in line with the average 1st round pick TE.

I mean, he was arrested. This is more of an example of why being arrested should not be held against someone if charges are dropped. Cops can’t tell a seizure from drug use.
