SEATTLE, WA – OCTOBER 29: Tight end Jimmy Graham /

Jimmy Graham

Jimmy Graham can ball. He may not be able to ball as hard as he used to. But, he definitely can still ball. He caught 10 touchdown passes this past year for the Seahawks. While his yards per catch dropping from 14.2 to 9.1 may indicate his best years are over, the Houston Texans don’t need prime Jimmy Graham.

What the Houston Texans need in a tight end is someone who can go over the middle and challenge linebackers and safeties. The Houston Texans need another guy to go up and get the ball in the end zone that doesn’t have the last name Hopkins. Graham is that guy.

His presence can only be a positive thing for the Houston Texans. Watson and Hopkins would both benefit greatly from his presence. Hopkins, at least, seems to know this.

The team may decide to go with potential over production at this position. Trey Burton from the Eagles and Austin Seferian-Jenkins from the Jets would be the best guys in that camp.
