People said the same BS about Woodley. Go watch some Steelers footage, and you'll see him dropping into coverage, making tackles out in the flats, and dominating at the LOS. Yes, he's a very good pass rusher, but it seems some board members blindly believe he's racking up those sack totals by almost exclusively rushing the passer. That might accurately describe a number of 34 rush OLB's, but the Steelers get a lot more out of LaMarr.
In any case, from what I've seen of Graham, he's pretty similar to Woodley, and I really wanted NE to draft him that year...
