He's a junior with a bit to learn but is a ball hawk, and has declared for the draft. I'm working on some video of him. Stay tuned. Reading some scouting reports of him and he's jump to the #1 CB ahead of Denzel Ward for some and I wouldn't be surprised if that continued. I think Ward will take a tumble and could be there at our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so, but that's a rare case of a rookie TE actually contributing at a high level. It usually takes them a little while for them to get in their grove and we need someone who can contribute now. That's why I want Graham over a rookie. Not to say we shouldn't draft a TE, but I would rather have Graham for the next few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes the BPA im ok with it but id rather a veteran in FA if we opt to make a move oppsite Lattimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard people say Graham is starting to block better for the Seahawks. I don't watch them, and I can't believe that til I see it. But if so, I really would want him back.

I actually thought he was a better pass blocker than run blocker that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy is still a matador when it comes to blocking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATcha Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I see a lot of mention of needing a TE. I forget which thread it was in, but an Eagles fan mentioned their back up TE (I don't remember his name either). He said that the kid has been a really good TE for them, but that he's just buried on the depth chart behind Ertz. That might be an option as well. **Found it. It was @MookieMonster that was talking about TE Trey Burton from the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS LAR - 5 catches, 71 yards, 2 TDs VS DEN - 2 catches, 41 yards, 1 TD With a couple other good games sprinkled in. He's a poor blocker but he's a great receiver at TE, would definitely be a massive upgrade over Fleener/Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Burton... my only issue is that Payton covets length at the position and Burton is an undersized TE. Yes I know he's good but I question if Payton would see him as a fit.
