Most AD carries run flat resists to assist in their laning phase.

Armor is 15 base armor+1.41*9 from flat armor runes+ 10 from true grit since graves has a great time pushing with that additional 50 armor bonus from her level 2 heal which IS going to be used if he ever takes any harrass and loses HP is about 87. Also realize that many people run flat attack AD runes to assist with last hitting, not armor pen, so this armor is a big deal knowing there is a 40% attack reduction with heal on and a 30% without.

MR is base 30+1.49*9 from flat MR runes+10 from true grit+16 from concecration is 69 magic resist which ok, isn't over 100, but is still a lot for level 3 without items.

My main point is that he gets a load of bulkiness without any sort of item investment that other AD carries can't match up. Ok so you have armor pen masteries and you possibly run armor pen runes but knowing how much more ineffective they are with Grave's already good early game is just excessive.
