bushwacked Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Did you see what he and Cutler did in the preseason/late season? Could've been Top 5. Scheffler seems like a nice enough player with some decent upside. I haven't seen enough of him to think he is near the blocker and/or athelete that Graham is.

Azazello1313 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Why? I like Scheffler a hell of a lot more than this garbage. i like this move a ton. scheffler is a nice threat to have around as a receiver, graham is a whole lot better as a dual threat. with rod smith potentially out or less than 100% early in the season, i think you'll see them use a LOT of 2 TE sets. fantasy-wise, i doubt either graham or scheffler will be good for more than 500-700 yards or so apiece (so neither will be a top tier fantasy TE)...but as far as the overall functioning of the offense, i think this will turn out to be a great signing.

bushwacked Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Oh man I hope there is a Randy McMichael signing in the Hawks future!! Wiggins?? Anything but a Jerramy Stevens signing would be fabulous!! Doesnt McMichael throw women out of a moving car after bloodying their nose? Ruskell won't sign him. Wiggins? meh... Eric Johnson can catch when he isn't missing entire seasons of football due to injury. The popular dump Stevens bandwagon amongst Seattleites is overflowing and those in it may get their wish, but I don't think they are going to like the alternative. I hope we get Stevens back, because Will Heller isn't going to be splitting safeties 35 yards down the field in the playoffs for a TD.

rhino Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have to agree with broncosn05 on this one. Broncos just drafted Scheffler in 2006, in the 2nd round, right? I believe this is the earliest Shanahan has ever drafted a TE (the first year without Kubiak). I also thought he was doing quite well after Cutler got in there, towards the end of the season (4 TDs in the last 5 games). So, why spend the big money on another TE? Denver reached an agreement Tuesday night with TE Daniel Graham on a five-year, $30 million contract that includes $15 million guaranteed. The deal makes Graham the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. I'm starting to believe Denver is spending money to just spend money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Its not a bad signing are far as the player will help the team, but Daniel Graham isn't worth $30 million & $15m guaranteed in any market, even this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinatieri Is God Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I like Sheffler too, but Graham is a proven, young NFL TE with great hands. Not to burst your bubble, but Graham is a superior blocking TE with capable hands (not great). He will definitely help in the run game.

Bronco Billy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Why? I like Scheffler a hell of a lot more than this garbage. Geez, could you know any less & strut your lack of knowledge any more? Scheffler is a good receiver, but his blocking skills are sorely insufficient. Shanahan requires all his receivers to block, especially TEs, because the running game is king in DEN. That's the predominant reason Scheffler took so long to get on the field last year. Graham adds a great blocking TE with solid but not great receiving skills. Graham is a huge upgrade over Stephen Alexander, whoi figures to get cut (though Shanahan has been known to carry an excess of TEs on the roster before). Shanahan also likes to mix 2 TE sets in when he can & his personnel allows for it, and the acquisition of Graham gives him great flexibility in running the O.

We don't need someone to split safeties 35 yards down the field one time per season. We need someone who can catch easy passes consistently.

Let me guess, the Dolphins aren't one of the teams you get paid good money to research? Edited March 7, 2007 by bushwacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Scheffler seems like a nice enough player with some decent upside. I haven't seen enough of him to think he is near the blocker and/or athelete that Graham is. +1 Graham is a HUGH upgrade of Sheffler. No comparison whatsoever in skill level. Henry and now Graham show that Denver is trying to put the pieces in place around Cutler. Smith could be done so they will need to add another WR opposite Javon Walker. But the addition of Graham was a great move, imo. Edited March 7, 2007 by spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the addition of Graham was a great move, imo. They'll put Brandon (I think that's his name) on the other side from Walker. Brandon showed flashed and is a big receiver. Smith should move to the #3 which is a perfect fit for him assuming he has anything left. Now if Denver can just work on the D-line they'd be in good shape.
