Everyone dogging on Graham because Roto's idiot board of advisers are doing it should relax. Roto's news breaking is legit and can't be denied, but their "analysts" are wrong just as much as they are right.
Graham is pretty OK, but he's not terrible like others, especially Roto, are making him out to be. He's a solid TE and is worth the price he is paid. He's not a game changer, but he is solid.
Ryan Griffin is NOT better or more athletic than Graham, that is absolute hogwash.
Roto's latest entry is saying he pales in comparison to A Hernandez. Obviously he's not the same guy, but he's not this "overpaid" loser they are making out.
For comparison sake with regards to athleticism:
He's taller. Runs only 0.07 seconds slower 40 time than Hernandez (Graham did his in the slow combine though versus Florida pro day). And only a 0.17 second slower 3 cone drill. So his athleticism isn't this 75 YO man I'm reading about.

What he doesn't do well, IMO, is create enough seperation in his routes to cleanly come up with the ball, but that's always been Owen Daniel's story as well post-ACL.
