With the 15th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft

If you trust Pete and John (which I do, no reason not to really), than you really can't question a pick in which they had the opportunity to move down again (and we know how much John wants extra picks) but instead took Irvin with pretty much every other pass rusher in the draft still on the board.

Speaks volumes about how high they think of Irvin. If the coaching staff and the guys that get paid to watch every little thing these guys do likes him that much, I like him that much.

Call me a sheep that just agrees with the FO, but they've done a damn good job thus far which leads me to my reasoning.

Bruce was in a club when he got the phone call. He wanted to party because he thought he would just chill tonight and watch it so at the cub he got a call and yelled to the DJ and made him turn it off. Everyone shut up and he talked on the phone and then yelled "I'M A F****** SEAHAWK!!!!!!" and the crowd erupted hahahaha

I hate that he went to you guys, better than the 49ers atleast

So I'm sitting in chemistry class and I just randomly thought of a nickname.

Project X

Clear play on words from the recent movie. However, Bruce is a project and the X implies his general uniqueness.

Thoughts? Laughing

I suggest you read this article about Bruce Irvin. It takes maybe 5-10 minutes to read it. It details his life story pretty much. I hate the fact that he's not a Lion, because I had him ranked 14th, and thought we'd be able to get him in the 2nd Crying or Very sad

. He really played off of raw extreme athletic ability and instincts. If you look at him, you'd think he wouldn't be explosive in his lower body, yet he has one of the most explosive pair of legs in this draft. He has great upper body strength, and if you get him to add a slight amount of bulk in the lower body, he could be a once in a generation athlete IMO. He is going to be a beast in this league, and he'll probably also greatly benefit from your scheme. And, the talk of him being only a situational pass rusher are false IMO. He actually was pretty good against the run for a guy whose 245 lbs playing in a 3-3-5. He was the #1 DE on my big board (he made a last minute jump over Vinny Curry and Nick Perry), and it kills me to see this guy go anywhere but the Lions. Congratulations on your beast! Crying or Very sad

Oh, and seriously read that article, even if you don't care about the details about him and how he's actually a good character to have on an NFL team, it's pretty inspirational too.
