Never Forget Bleacher Report Gave Seahawks Legendary 2012 Draft Class a Terrible Grade

The Seattle Seahawks built a dominant team last decade thanks in large part to a stacked 2012 draft class. The first three picks were Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson. Those three players alone make the entire 10-player class a success.

As with any draft class there were instant reactions in regards to whom the Seahawks selected. One of the more freezing cold takes of all time came from Bleacher Report, which gave the team an "F" as its grade for their efforts in the draft that year.

Not only that, but the Seahawks were the only team to receive an F! Unbelievable. That new young core helped lead the team to a Super Bowl victory within two seasons and nearly another the year after.

Saying Wilson doesn't fit the offense is absurd and goes to show why it's important not to make such bold claims in a reactionary way. The best thing about the Internet is that these takes live on and everyone can have a good laugh -- except, of course, for the publication that wrote the story.
