Yes the guy is a beast of a blocker tough to compare but he may be as good or better than graham but he is much older and at this point isnt close to the pass catcher that graham has potential to be. he has had better health though

He's a great blocker. Prob 6'6" 270. Can handle a lb and de. He's one of the reasons Jax has had a great running game. It hasn't exactly been the threat of the passing game. It's strictly blocking and some talented backs.
but Brady is an above average blocker and hes bigger than Graham
he wont be as dominant blocker as Graham was he'll do very good
What makes you say this? BB has referred to K. Brady as "another tackle". Graham may be as well with his exceptional blocking, but who is to say they aren't on the same level?
Brady is an excellent blocker, Graham was good but missed some too - this best ever stuff is getting a little carried away.
I don't think we'll lose much blocking going from Graham to Brady but we'll be a little more predictable as Graham was more of the legit double threat while Brady is more of a pure blocker and Thomas more of a pure receiver (as a TE). Although Thomas showed some solid position blocking in his few opportunities.

Well, I think two things when I see this, (and I think you aren't the first to mention this idea of predictability). Deception starts with the defense coming to a conclusion on what you are doing. We can use the idea that "K. Brady is only in to block" as an advantage. But more importantly, and this might seem contradictory to my last point, but I don't see anything wrong with Brady being brought in mainly to block. I guess I think deception is overrated, and if he's a great blocker, and he can do that well, then whether the D knows he's in to block or not is irrelevant.

I basically agree with you - and as Thomas CAN block and Brady CAN catch, it's not all or nothing by any means. But still a touch more predictable.

First, because of Matt Light we needed to use Graham mostly as a blocker. Graham had and has durability problems. Of course I'd prefer keeping Graham but a guy who is durable, can block and yes CAN catch that surprise pass now and then is a very good addition filling a void in the talented TE corps. Good signing.
