Well said.

Top 5? Yep.

Top TE in the entire NFL? Nope.

He needs quite a few less drops and more YAC for that.

I agree. Not hating on Graham at all, and would not trade him for any other TE in the league...ANY! But even my wife pointed that out last year. That he still isn't tough enough yet. He goes to his knees as soon as he catches the ball. There at times that he could break the play for big, big yardage but he instinctively goes right down to his knees. YACs would very much help his stock IMHO.

It looks like he hit the weights in last off-season and came in more muscular than the year before, but his toughness wasn't the same. Yes, i know he was nursing an injury for the most part, but I still think there could have been more toughness shown.
