Seattle's trade for Jimmy Graham was the big news of the year at the tight end position --- but also a trade that still has an incomplete grade.
Unexpected at the time it was made, Seattle’s off-season acquisition of Jimmy Graham remains a trade with a grade that is incomplete.
Judging just by the stats, Graham contributed more than well enough in his first season with the Seahawks, tied for the team lead in receptions (44) before he suffered a season-ending injury against the Steelers in week 11.
But the raw numbers did little to quiet the debate over the merits of one of the biggest trades of the Pete Carroll/John Schneider, the ultimate judgment of which likely depends on how well Graham recovers from patellar tendon surgery and much he adds to the offense down the road.
