The Facts:
According to Post staffer Jim Armstrong, Graham will catch 55 passes in his first season with the Broncos. And more important, Mike Heimerdinger agreed. "I don't think you're off," said Heimerdinger, the Broncos' assistant head coach/offense. "The tight end has always been a big part of this offense. We should be able to get him the ball."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Interesting, at least in theory. ... Graham averaged 24 catches per season in five years with the Patriots and no Broncos tight end has caught more than 37 since Shannon Sharpe retired. We're not dismissing the notion that Graham is capable of playing a significant role in the passing attack, but 55 catches seems like a major reach. We'll make note of the prediction, keep an eye on training-camp developments and revisit the issue then.
