Seahawks 2012 Draft Grade: F
It's just a BleacherReport article, but this is still pretty amusing in hindsight.

Donald Wood "draft expert" LMAO
|
And zero ****s were given by Pete Carroll, then and now.
|
they had no choice about Wilson. we had already drafted Donald Stephenson and Jeff Allen.
|
And if I'm not mistaken, Bruce Irvin leads all rookie pass rushers in sacks.
Yeah, this guy needs to sell insurance. Or stock shelves somewhere, whichever. |
That writer is probably gonna see his pay cut in half, to $1 per article.
|
Yeah, the Russell Wilson pick was a waste. Glad Pioli didn't squander a pick on that hillbilly.
Any chance Clark can hire this guy as a lead scout? |
Several of the "experts" here as well didn't think much about Wilson. I've always been on the bandwagon of players who perform well despite their height / weight. If a guy makes smart decisions, spreads the ball around, and hits his WR in stride in a consistant basis, THEN DRAFT HIM. I don't give a **** about a players height.

Bleacher Report is a ****ing joke, not surprising some schmuck from there wrote this.

Someone Twitter that to him! LMAO
|
Did Scott Pioli write that?
|
And this is why I always laugh at draft grades on draft weekend. Stupid and pointless
|
|
|
But it's from the BLEACHERS!

I am not suggesting draft grades on draft day are always accurate But anyone can write a Bleacher Report article I would not compare anything on Bleacher Report with anything an actual scout or analyst says |
The guy looks like Dwight Schrute's son. LMAO
|
BR should be banned from life, IMO.
I loath that site entirely. |

Athan couldn't have graded them better

Just goes to show how drafting is pot luck. Geno Smith may be a bust or he may be a hall of famer. Nobody knows.

Looks like Pete Carroll had the last laugh on this one.
|
Since I never posted an opinion here at the time, I will say now that I thought the Seahawks had an incredible draft. A+++++++++++
|
It wasn't just them. Many here and elsewhere despised their picks.
|
Yeah, it wasn't popular. Football Outsiders rounded up a bunch of popular scout/analyst/tv personalities rankings and averaged them
This year, we pulled the grades from nine NFL writers and draft analysts: Mel Kiper, ESPN Insider Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com (AFC) & (NFC) Pete Prisco, CBS Sports Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News John Czarnecki, Fox Sports Chris Wessling and Evan Silva, RotoWorld (AFC) & (NFC) Chris Burke, Sports Illustrated Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports (AFC) & (NFC) Nate Davis, USA Today The Seahawks averaged out 30th ahead of the Raiders & Saints. Two teams missing several picks. |
The Seahawks definitely hit with Wilson, Irvin, Wagner, Turbin and Sweezy. Jeremy lane has been playing well while holding down the fort for Browner.
We would be ecstatic if the Chiefs drafted that "poorly". |
the funny thing about our A+ 2008 draft...
Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Charles, Carr the only one who sucked was our "steal" at #5 overall |

If I remember correctly the big complaint about drafting Irvin at the 15 slot was that they could have had him at 30 or higher with a trade and picked up some additional picks. I do know the team claimed he was targeted by them and he was "their guy" they wanted to help their outside pass rush.

Actually, the players selected right after Dorsey didn't turn out to be much either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_NFL_Draft |
Someone should dig up the 2012 draft grades. Either a thread from here or grades from the draft sites. Would be fun to see how they look now.
|
I got killed in my mock draft for suggesting we take Wilson in the 6th.
