Before Free Agency started, a few websites had Graham as one of the possible value picks of Free Agency. The idea, of course, being that he was a very good blocker and a decent receiver and some team might be able to pick him up on the cheap and end up making a smart play.
Of course, once everyone starts thinking of a guy as an underrated value pickup, then he, at some point, morphs into an overrated overpaid guy. I think that teams forget that part of what made him attractive in the first place was the idea that he would come cheap (either in terms of money or trade or draft picks or whatever).
Call it the Ben Wallace effect.
