....as usual.

Last year Seattle drafted Russell Wilson in the third round, and got their elite quarterback for the next 10 years, and made the playoffs.
This is how their draft was graded before any of their draftees played a down in the NFL:

Everything else was … very … blah. Grade: C

USA Today ranked the Seahawk's draft 26th out of the 32 teams.

The general consensus was that the Seahawks had a bad draft last year. That shows how much stock you should put in draft grades.

No, it's not. There's nothing wrong with people grading the draft before the players play, as long as you understand that the grades are totally meaningless because they are simply pure opinion. Anyone who throws in the towel because they didn't like the draft is an idiot.
