    I was bummed by his play early with the 2 dropped passes early and he ran the wrong route that caused Drew to throw a pick, but he made up for it with a big 2nd half including 4th Q TD that pulled the Saints within 2. It just proves the old cliche' - It's not how to start, but how you finish.

    I don't think he's totally figured out this game at the pro level but when he does, watch out.

    Yes, he still has a long way to go. Too much catching the miracle catches and dropping the easy ones. Needs to become more consistent. His ceiling is very high.

    On pace to shatter the NFL record for receiving yards in a single season for a TE.

    The record is 1290, he is on pace for 1468 yards.

    if hes stays healthy this thing is going down.

    hes going to catch even more passes once he gets more comfortable and Colston opens him up even more with the double teams.

    He's much more of a WR than a TE in the Saints offense, especially since Colston has been out. He's really a bigger and more athletic version of MC. Dare I say, if Payton decides he needs to add more speed at wideout, Graham could make Colston expendable.

    colston is a lot more vital than any of the other receivers because of his size, hands and route running.

    Graham could never replace him. His value is mismatching a linebacker.
