Cash Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 In addition to Graham's DB duties as the most likely candidate for slot Corner, he'll also be a great ST gunner in tandem with Easley. Good point -- I forgot about his special teams ability. Since he (hopefully) won't be a full-time starter for us, he should still be able to contribute heavily on special teams. The Bills get full marks for this signing.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I really like this signing, along with almost everyone else. I'm guessing that Graham will start as the nickel/slot corner. (And make no mistake, that is a starter. All this talk about looking for a 2-down LB should really be about looking for a 1-down LB. Teams only spend 30-40% of the time in "base" personnel with 4 or fewer DBs.) If anyone gets hurt or needs a breather, Robey will come in at the slot, with Graham moving outside unless he's the one who came out. If 2 guys get hurt, then Ron Brooks comes in, and while he's no great shakes, I don't think he's automatic to get torched the way Rogers was last year. I actually really like our depth at CB! (Not really any other positions, though. Maybe D-line or kicker?) this. i was trying to think of a time that we were ever this deep at cb and i'm failing.
QCity Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Based on the CB market, it's very possible that Graham could have squeaked out a few extra million going somewhere else. This is one of the rare instances where a FA may have taken a slight discount because the Bills were his first choice. And yeah, he went to a Probowl as a ST player before. With him, Easley, and Rivers (also a plus ST guy), the excuses are over for Crossman.

Solomon Grundy Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Congratulations and welcome back to Buffalo!
snydert317 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 That was most definitely one of my favorite welcome videos I have seen. This is the guy that will be a locker room leader because he has a passion for the Bills like all of us.
Rico Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks, that was good. Proven big-game money player who knows how to win & who wants to be here, what a great addition.
Kellyto83TD Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks, that was good. Proven big-game money player who knows how to win & who wants to be here, what a great addition. Exactly!
Max997 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Graham was a really good signing on a lot of levels
Superb Owl Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 He was like a little kid in a candy shop. haha, so true! his excitement was even rubbing off on Chris Brown!
swnybillsfan Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 i listened to his interview on the john murphy show and couldn't help but be excited. he sounds like a great kid, and the excitement he has about being in buffalo is great. kid could end up being a true "hometown hero".

Big C Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 this. i was trying to think of a time that we were ever this deep at cb and i'm failing. Weird to think so! Really happy with McKelvin coming around and Robey surprising us all.
