Although I feel badly for him as he's put forth a good effort and it looked like we were trying to incorporate him more into the offense, the fact is that he was brought in here specifically to help our red zone offense and he's scored just two TD's this season, with just one when in the red zone. He's a finesse player and we're a smash mouth team. This was a bust of a trade.

As for the trade - I still like it.
His lack of production in some games has had as much to do with Bevell's schemes and OL ineptness as anything else. It certainly isn't from a lack of effort on his part. His attitude overall has been fine, and this isn't a pass happy, high octane O to begin with (save for games like today).
We'll see how he recovers, but I'll take Graham over Unger and draft pick(s) any day.

Looking at it that way a 1st and Unger for Graham and Lockett looks like a win to me. Of course other picks were also used to get Lockett (our 3rd round and 5th rounder's and the 6th rounder we got from the Jets for... wait for it... wait for it... Percy Harvin). So if you really want to look it we gave up 2 #1's, 2 #3's, a #5, a #7, and Unger for Graham and Lockett. That doesn't look so good. Man that Harvin trade turned out bad.
