Even if it means getting blown up. Who was playing TE in 2009? Jeremy Shockey on his last legs? The Packers won the next year without Jermichael Finley; just the super trio of Jennings, Driver, and Nelson. Which we could have with Desean, though I doubt we get him. The Giants won the next year. Who was their TE? I don't even know right now off the top of my head. Then the Ravens. Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson? More like Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith. And this year. The Seattle Seahawks. I'm just under the logic of WR being more important then TE. Which is why WR's get paid more then TE's by a large amount.

I know, you've made it pretty clear and I respect your opinion. I disagree with just about every word you typed, but I do respect your opinion.

I could throw a bunch of stats at you to show you that Graham has out produced Desean Jackson.

I could list all the tight ends and their numbers, that have played for Sean with Drew to show you that Graham isn't just another TE in the Payton/Brees system.

I could bring up lots of news reports of how Desean sat out of team meetings because he didn't want to go over the middle.

I could talk about how Desean announced to the press that he wanted a new contract less then two years after signing a 5 year deal that made him the 7th highest paid Wide out in the league.

I could show that Desean disappeared in more games than Graham this last season.

But I don't think you'd care about any of that.

So while I respect your opinion, I'd take Graham.
