According to PFW Daniel Graham has missed only one block since training camp. The one thing I would disagree with them on is the extent of Graham's role in the passing game.

Graham’s blocking stands out at TE spot
Aug. 31, 2007
According to the coaching staff’s meticulous reports from dissecting film of practice and preseason games, TE Daniel Graham has missed only one block since training camp began. The way he takes on defensive ends is why the Broncos were so eager to sign him to a lucrative contract that included $15 million in guarantees in the offseason, and also why his receiving numbers have dwindled the last two years (37 catches combined in 2005 and ’06) with the Patriots. With the pass-catching prowess of fellow TEs Tony Scheffler and Nate Jackson in Denver, Graham’s receiving totals aren’t expected to be among the league leaders, but he is being counted on as the team’s every-down tight end going into the season, and his hands, athleticism and crisp route-running have drawn rave reviews.
