2012 NFL Draft Grades: Power Ranking Teams That Failed on Draft Day
BY DONALD WOOD (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON APRIL 29, 2012

With the 2012 NFL draft over and done, it’s time to look back on the teams that failed on draft day and give them a grade.

Certain teams had amazing afternoons, but others teams (I’m looking at you Seattle) completely missed on the concept of trying to improve.

All of the following squads screwed up, but it’s very clear that certain teams have major internal issues. I’m sorry to the fans of all the following teams for the poor drafting.

No. 1: Seattle Seahawks

After one of the worst picks in the first round I can ever remember, the Seattle Seahawks didn't draft any positions of need or draft for the future.

Pete Carroll is proving why he didn’t make it in the NFL the first time. Not only was Bruce Irvin a reach at No. 15, the Seahawks proved they were oblivious to their madness by celebrating their selection.

As if the day wasn’t bad enough, Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn’t fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft. With the two worst moves of the draft, Seattle is the only team that received an F on draft day.

Grade: F

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.

iirc, they got a bad draft grade from all over.

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
