NEW YORK, NY - With the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks pick Bruce Irvin, an outside linebacker from West Virginia.

The Seahawks were scheduled to pick 12th, but traded that to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 15th pick overall in addition to a fourth and sixth round pick.
