Grahams blocking has improved- don't forget he played the majority of last season with a torn plantar fascia. I believe Gronk is also used more as an actual blocker versus Graham. I don't really advocate one over the other but my perspective is Graham is a better overall WR than Gronk, Gronk is a better overall blocker.
As far as Josh Gordon goes I believe when players are suspended for the whole season Madden removes them from the game. Maybe I'm wrong on this but I don't believe Josh Gordon will even be in the game if he's suspended all season. Not that I agree with that.
