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

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

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.

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.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.
