I tracked every rep that Graham had. One thing you have to keep in mind is these guys get limited reps period, and they do earn those reps during the practice week. During the practice week Anthony McCoy earned the start at TE and so he was the starting TE and played the most. Graham played, but they did keep him in to pass protect, probably because that's the biggest question mark people have. They released him on a fair number of patterns though. In the end it was probably half and half. He did some good things out in space. He uses his hands very well to get open among the big bangers on the inside, and I can remember one specific instance he did this against Edds (who I consider to be the overall best coverage backer in the draft) to where he absorbed a good physical bump out in the 5 yard area by Edds but used his hands to eventually get free on the cross, and I'll be damned if he wasn't free for a TD after that. The QB threw to the other cross, but I paid close attention to see if Graham was that open because of the QB's eyes or him starting in on his throw, but no it's just a matter of not finding him where if the QB clicked off to the other side he could have thrown the ball and it would be a TD. Other times Graham used his hands well to get free, as well. He also worked the sideline pretty well. I liked how he did that. He slowed up his outs to give himself enough room to operate and turn up field. He had another really nice looking catch on the sideline on a QB scramble about 15 yards up field.
But he also made mistakes. One was very costly. The interception that Edds got was totally on Graham who didn't get his head around quickly enough to find the ball and haul it in. It was within Graham's catch radius but he just let it whiz by and Edds accepted the gift.
