Overview

Graham is a bit of a ‘tweener in that he lacks prototypical size and strength to be a top in line tight end in the NFL. He may be best suited as an H-Back or a fullback and will need to go to a team that fits his strengths. He is a good route runner and is excellent at reading coverages and finding the soft spots in zone defenses. He is a natural receiver that can reach out and pluck the ball and has a wide receiving radius. He is a willing blocker but lacks the size to blow opponents off the line.

Analysis

Strengths

Graham has soft hands. Very productive for three seasons in the Big 10. Heady player with great motor. Runs precise routes and understands how to get open in zone coverage. Can play multiple positions at the next level.

Weaknesses

Does not possess adequate size and strength. Releases too slow and does not have the acceleration to get separation in man coverage. Lacks the moves to be elusive after the catch and the ability to stretch the field.

96-100 Future Hall of Famer Top Pick A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played

70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.

20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
