I acknowledge its not a universal general rule (playing high picks), but on an embarrassment of a team that's dancing with last place in the league you might as well give a guy that has raw tools a chance.

And I argued that Hoffa deserved a starting role partway through his rookie year. You gotta find out if the guy is a bust or not. Hoffa was, are we sure Graham is?
