What? Every national article was saying these types of things about the Irvin pick. He wasn’t seen as a 1st round prospect that draft, nobody had him going that high. The Seahawks march to the beat of their own drum on draft day, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
“With the 15th pick in the
2012 NFL draft, the
Seattle Seahawks select...Bruce Irvin?!
When the
Seahawks made their pick on Thursday in the first round of the
NFL draft, virtually the whole country responded with, "Who the (heck) is that?"

“One of the biggest surprises in the 2012 NFL Draft came with the 15th pick of the 1st round when the
Seattle Seahawks selected West Virginia LB Bruce Irvin. Among the various media mock drafts leading up to the real thing, Irvin was widely considered a 2nd round prospect, at best a late 1st round pick.”
