Never a second of doubt in my mind regarding a broken bone with Rawls, Graham I still have my doubts.

I have a concern with the ligament issues for both players.
They are the biggest unknown aspects for any injury. I'm hoping the rehab procedures are completely effective and they are both back at full strength, but I'm not buying into it fully quite yet.

"The question with Rawls is not ability but health. He suffered a fractured ankle with ligament damage in December and has not been participating in OTAs. If healthy, Rawls figures to be the bell cow for the Seahawks' run-first offense".

Now it makes sense why it's taken so long to recover from a broken ankle.

Graham will have a nice year, though not the huge year he had when in New Orleans, but that will be more of a product of Wilson's tendency to spread the ball around, and all the weapons he will have to spread the ball to.
I expect both Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett to have REALLY nice seasons, (when put in the context of Seahawks receivers in a run first system anyway) and between Doug and Lockett, plus all the other weapons, like Kearse Richardson (he finally looks healthy), Prosise, Willson etc..., it's going to be tough for GRaham to really stand out in terms of volume numbers.
Where he CAN stand out, however, is in the red zone. I expect him to end up with a lot of touchdowns receptions, double digits.

Not sure why that would be considered optimistic, considering he was all three prior to being injured, and that with about 1/2 the carries and games as those he was ranked with... Hell, he was leading the entire NFL in rushing with only 6 games, and was top ten despite missing/ or not getting significant carries in 10 of 16 games.
