He could very well have been drafted by another team in the 2nd round.  You have no idea how other NFL teams graded him.

It is funny how when a player is drafted higher than the "draft experts" predict everyone says the team was wrong, but when a player gets drafte much later than all the "draft experts" predict no one says that all 32 NFL teams were wrong.  The fact is that all the draft experts could have been just as wrong about Sample as they were about Mack Wilson.  There was a whole crowd of people here calling for us to draft Wilson in the 2nd or 3rd when he was actually a 5th round pick.
