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

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.

In hindsight, the Chiefs should have tried to trade up for Matt Ryan or lost one more game in 2007.
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.
