Deciphering what the heck the Seahawks were thinking in draft | Jerry Brewer | The Seattle Times
Need a translation of why the Seahawks were so eccentric when it came to the 2012 NFL draft? They were just thinking differently.
2013 NFL Mock Draft has Arkansas' Tyler Wilson going No. 1 overall - Andrew Perloff - SI.com
The 2012 NFL Draft illustrated teams' focus on the passing game, with quarterbacks, cornerbacks and pass rushers flying off the board. Teams can now afford to be much bolder at quarterback thanks to the rookie salary slotting system, allowing them to take guys higher than graded and to give up on former first-rounders quicker than before. Next year's class doesn't have an Andrew Luck in it, so predicting the top QB picks will be tougher, but teams will always find players to fit that need.
Cosell Talks: Teams Reveal Their Beliefs in the Draft : NFL Films Blog
I have always believed that you can discern from tape study exactly how teams feel about their players. The way in which players are specifically utilized within the framework of larger schemes is the analytical measuring stick. Think of it this way: If a corner rarely plays press man, it’s a given that the team does not believe he is capable of executing that coverage. They are trying to minimize his limitation, so it is not exposed and does not become a reason for a loss.
The Case For Russell Wilson - NFL Mocks -
The reaction is still coming down, and it’s predictable. Most draft analysts feel the Seattle Seahawks wasted a third round pick by selecting Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson. I, for one, just don’t get it.
Teams routinely ignore the rules regarding undrafted players | ProFootballTalk
Recent events regarding bounty systems and cartoonish efforts by assistant coaches to persuade players to try to injure their opponents have made more mundane violations by NFL team far less meaningful. But that doesn’t mean evidence of teams disregarding the rules should be ignored.

Play Action: 2009 Seattle Seahawks | April
In an effort to understand what the Raiders are likely to do on offense this year I took a look at Seattle Seahawks games from 2009. Seattle in 2009 was the last year that Raiders new OC Greg Knapp was an offensive coordinator. He served as QB coach in Houston in both 2010 and 2011 before returning to Oakland for this next season. Knapp was previously designated offensive coordinator for the Raiders under Lane Kiffin but it was Kiffin's offense and Kiffin also called the plays, so that may not be representative of Knapp's style.
101Sports.com: Tony Softli - Rams' Draft Looks Good on Paper, But Let's Wait and See
Rams owner Stan Kroneke started preparing for this moment several months ago with his hire of head coach Jeff Fisher and general Manager Les Snead. This past weekend in the 2012 NFL Draft, the new regime of Fisher and Snead was aggressive in its approach of building the championship foundation. It actually started on Thursday night in prime time, with the Rams sitting in the No. 6 slot that they had previously secured from the Washington Redskins and waiting for Justin Blackmon, the receiver they had coveted from day one. But Gene Smith, the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, had other thoughts, making a trade with Tampa Bay to jump into the fifth slot and leapfrog the Rams, stealing Blackmon and providing an exceptional playmaker for quarterback Blaine Gabbert.

NFL Power Rankings Preseason - National Football League - ESPN
The 2012 draft is in the books. Free agency has slowed to a crawl. At this stage of the game, you basically have what you have. The teams know it. Our voters (ESPN.com's John Clayton, ESPN.com's Ashley Fox, AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky, NFC West blogger Mike Sando and AFC East blogger James Walker) know it, too.

Dave Krieg's Strike Beard: Walk Unafraid with PCJS
This is the wrong place to look for informed draft analysis. I don't watch college football with any sort of focus, and the ONLY Seahawks draftee that I had heard of before last weekend was QB Russell Wilson. Anything that I would tell you about the 10 men Seattle just drafted would just be regurgitation of something I read somewhere else. What can I tell you today in the aftermath of the draft?
