Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL Womens Richard Sherman Jersey , powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Seahawks fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.We’re doing something a little different this week for FanPulse results. The graphic below takes a look at how Seattle Seahawks fans fared in predicting wins, losses, and margin of victory/defeat this season. The white line graph is for predictions, the blue line features the actual results.The breakdown is as follows:Week 1 at Denver BroncosSeahawks fans predict: Win by 4 pointsActual result: Lose by 3 pointsWeek 2 at Chicago BearsSeahawks fans predict: Win by 2 pointsActual result: Lose by 7 pointsWeek 3 vs Dallas CowboysSeahawks fans predict: Win by 3 pointsActual result: Win by 11 pointsWeek 4 at Arizona CardinalsSeahawks fans predict: Win by 10 pointsActual result: Win by 3 pointsWeek 5 vs. Los Angeles RamsSeahawks fans predict: Lose by 10 pointsActual result: Lose by 2 pointsWeek 6 “at’ Oakland Raiders in LondonSeahawks fans predict: Win by 9 pointsActual result: Win by 24 pointsWeek 8 at Detroit LionsSeahawks fans predict: Win by 5 pointsActual result: Win by 14 pointsApart from the Los Angeles Rams game, Seahawks fans have predicted wins, wins, and more wins. That won’t change for the Los Angeles Chargers, with a point spread set at 5. If only our positivity reflected reality, or else Seattle would be challenging for a first-round bye.Funnily enough, the two biggest misses on the year were the loss to the Rams not being a two-score defeat, but instead a back-and-forth thriller that the Seahawks nearly won, and then the utter pasting of the Oakland Raiders that exceeded expectations.The most accurate fanbase are the Dallas Cowboys, while the Oakland Raiders are the least accurate Germain Ifedi Jersey Green , having predicted wins in five of seven games this year, including against the Rams. They’re going for a 1-point victory versus the San Francisco 49ers, which seems fair, but as a whole it’s taken them awhile to realize just how awful their team actually is. The most pessimistic fans are unsurprisingly the Buffalo Bills, who’ve predicted defeats in every game except the Indianapolis Colts, who blew them out 37-5.We do not have confidence poll graphs this week, but the Seahawks percentage moved up from 78% to 86% after the win over the Detroit Lions. Of note? Much of the confidence Lions fans had has torpedoed, as they went from 86% to 36%, near the bottom of the league, but a ways from the league-low Jacksonville Jaguars, who are at 3% confidence. So far this week I’ve taken a look at three draft classes for the Seattle Seahawks by looking at no more than the snap counts accumulated by the members of each of the draft classes. The classes I’ve covered so far includethe 2016 draft class led by Jarran Reed and Germain Ifedithe 2015 draft class which produced Tyler Lockett and Frank Clark, the 2014 second round of Justin Britt and Paul Richardson. Which means that of course today we will be looking at the 2013 draft class. Now, while Hawks fans are more than well aware of the fact that the 2013 season was the most successful in team history for on field performance, the draft that year is easily one of the worst in franchise history. How bad was it? Let’s jump straight to the numbers.Seahawks 2013 draft class snap countsRoundPlayer SelectedSnaps PlayedPercentage of Draft Class SnapsRoundPlayer SelectedSnaps PlayedPercentage of Draft Class SnapsJust to put how little this entire draft class contributed on the field for the Hawks, here are some facts about this draft class relative to some of the team’s other classes. The 2013 group as a whole played fewer snaps (3 Patrick Kerney Jersey ,280) thanJustin Britt has played himself (4,557)fewer snaps than Tyler Lockett has in career punt and kick return yards (3,434)fewer snaps than the 2017 Seahawks draft class (3,489)In short, the 2013 draft class didn’t play much at all. Now, in yesterday’s installment about the 2014 draft class a question was asked about what constitutes average for a draft class across the NFL. While that is an entire can of worms that I’m not really looking to get into here, the rough back of the envelope calculation that will put you in the ballpark of how productive a draft class has been is to divide the number of snaps the group played by 800, and that gives you a very, very rough approximation of how many starting seasons the draft class has produced. The reason that gets you in the ballpark is that of the 22 starting positions in the NFL, barring injury half of those starters should play 100% of snaps for their team - the quarterback, the five offensive linemen, the four defensive backs and one or maybe two of the team’s linebackers. That’s about 1,000 snaps per season for each of those 11 positions. Then there is a group of seven positions that will play around three quarters of a team’s snaps. Those include the halfback, the tight end, the defensive ends and typically the second linebacker. Three quarters of 1 Tre Madden Jersey Green ,000 is obviously 750, and that’s about how many snaps these positions should be expected to play in a season. And then there are the more rotational positions, including the third wide receiver, the third linebacker, and the defensive tackles. The players should play somewhere in the ballpark of half of the snaps a team plays, so about 500 snaps per player. That leads to the 22 starters for a team averaging just over 800 snaps per starter, so by dividing the snaps plays for a draft class by 800, it yields a very rough approximation of how many seasons of on field play a draft class accounted for. Now, is it precise? Not at all. This is a machete, not a scalpel, but it puts the numbers into an easy to easy to understand single number.
