In retrospect instead of blasting Graves for not getting Suggs or not moving up, we should really be mad at the guys who caused this problem, Roy Williams and Vince Wilfork. If those 2 players had just done what everyone expected and gone pro, it would have been a 6 person draft not a 4 person and when we got to 6 either a WR(likely Johnson) or a DT(Robertson or Wilfork) would have been sitting there for us.
While I suppose I should be happy to see kids stay(and in Wilfork's case it's VERY understandable), I admit I'm still stunned Williams didn't come out. Might have been ranked ahead of Rogers and now he has to play with a young QB (either Chance Mock or Vincent Young) who while both talented, may not be ready to play and might impact Williams' season. He came back to win a NC, don't think he will.
