Is Jimmy Graham a top 5 player in the NFL?

I listen to the Dave Dameshek Football Podcast(NFL.com), and they took fan questions today. One of them asked about the top 100 that the NFL network does every year, and they decided to do a quick top 5.
The host's top 5
1. Rodgers
2. Brady
3. Graham
4. Megatron
5. Watt
The other guy(Elliot Harrison)'s top 5
1. Brady
2. Megatron
3. Watt
4. Manning
5. Brees
This is interesting to me. We are all aware that Jimmy didn't crack the list last year somehow, but obvious he will be on it this year, probably near the top.
But TOP 5? Number 3 even. I'm just not sure. He is a great player and probably the best TE in the NFL, and if he plays for another 6-8 seasons he'll probably be the best ever, but I just can't justify him as a top 5 player in the league.....
Anyways, I wanted some fresh discussion that isn't all FA/Draft talk. So my question is: is Graham a top 5 player? If so, who is above him? If NOT, where does he fall for you?

No

he's not even the best player on the team.
Putting megatron behind graham is about as ridiculous as it gets. The guy beats triple teams; graham can't beat press coverage from a single good cb.

The top 4 players in the league have to be the top 4 QBs. After that you can add Megatron and AD. THEN after that you could MAYBE start adding defensive players.

No top 15

Remember that time he didn't make the NFL Top 100 and went on to score 16 touchdowns?

no not at all by any stretch of the imagination.

These two don't seem to go together
But no...not top 5.
He is however a great weapon.

Nope

If NO would've further made it to the playoffs, I think we'd have a better informed answer for this but due to his injury, and people stating he got "shut down in big games", I'd go the safe way and say no... until the Saints can ride him to a playoff WIN that is...

No, probably in my top 25 if I had to fill out a list.
He is damn good though...
