They both line up inline quite a bit.
the whole Y/F/H/U thing is a head scratcher in this scheme. Neither can block, thats the issue.

He overpaid him by about 2-3 mill, imo. I don't think its a Matt Millen grade like dumbass walterfootball said, but its still a hella overpay for someone who's past his prime. Still, he isn't the TE he was back in seattle but he is far and away better than anyone we have on the roster.

This is a sign that pace is desperate and in over his head.

Jimmy Graham is a perfect fit
Old...check
Overpaid...check
Cant block...check
Is incredibly slow....double check
At this rate with our lack of speed across the board and a qb who cant hit anything on the move 15 yards down the field; we'll be facing goal to goal like defenses on every play!
Should be awesome

Lining up there and being good from there are different things.
Neither can block. Everytime you put Jimmy on the line the other team knows it is a pass or a run away.

Actually, Burton was a fantastic blocker in 2018. He also lined up inline like half the time. Burton was one of the best run blocking tight ends in 2018.
Jimmy can not block, however, and is a shadow of his former self.

Also, you are acting like they will be on the field at all times together.
If they are both healthy and produce it will be a very deadly 3rd down threat with miller and robinson included in 12 personnel. Will make life very easy for mitch.
If its first and second down, Demetrius Harris will see plenty of play at the Y while both burton/graham swap off. Fuck, whos to say we wont roll out a 13 package every so often.
Both Jimmy G and Burton are better than any recieving option we have other than Miller/Arob right now.

PFF graded him that way. He was not asked to block as a traditional TE. He was doing a lot of cut offs and blocks you ask a WR to make.

Harris is a very good Y blocker. FYI. Burton might be one of the best blockers at his F tight end spot in the league. just sayin.

Yes, he's an F tight end, but he still lined up inline like 40-50% of the time.
I still stand by the fact thats why tarik had a beast year in 2018, because burton lined up infront of him and allowed cohen to take up the secondary coverage option instead of the best option. Matching up cohen on a safety isnt as much a mismatch as having him on a linebacker.

Once again, top 10 in yardage and receptions the last 2 years.
If I told you we could get a TE who could put up that, you'd be happy.
I feel like all you do is bitch now. It's pathetic.
I don't like the signing for the money, but Jimmy is not completely washed up.

That is like being the fastest OLmen. Cool, but the expectations are pretty low.

I bitch because 5 years into the Pace era and we aren't very good.
Being a top 10 TE is a low bar. 38 catches and 400 yards does not get me excited. For 8 million it makes me want to puke.
