Graham has become my personal whipping boy coming into the early part of this season. I understand and appreciate that Gute couldn't tighten up all of the roster loose ends in this off-season, so TE is now one of the more apparent weak spots. I'd bet they had higher hopes that a healthier Graham, a more experienced Tonyan, and the well regarded (but injured) Sternberger would be more productive,(Lewis is just a warm body); but it hasn't happened - yet anyway. Graham was never much of a blocker, but now he's deteriorated as a receiver as well. Hard miles have caught up to him. How long is Sternberger out for? Still, even when he is back, I don't expect much useful production from him this season.
I'd think if they make an in-season move, it's to upgrade TE.
