I like Graham. #7 most accurate kicker in NFL history. That's hard to argue with.

He was also cut because Payton wasn't very impressed with the kicking in the pre-season. I think he was one of only 2 kickers to miss an extra point from the new test distance in the preseason.

Once again, the way he's kicking right now is what I would expect of any decent kicker in the NFL. If he starts hitting some 55+ yarders on a regular basis then I may change my tune. Until then, no real reason to celebrate.
