Why the Seahawks didn't draft an offensive lineman until the fifth round

RENTON, Wash. -- General manager John Schneider responded with a hint of snark when asked after the draft if the Seattle Seahawks are happy with their offensive line.

"I guess we're supposed to take a bunch [of lineman] all the time," he said. "Every day we're supposed to be signing one."

The question lingers after the Seahawks failed to add to what has consistently been a position of weakness for them until they finally chose Oklahoma tackle Jamarco Jones in the fifth round. It's part of the reason they didn't receive many favorable grades from those assessing how teams fared in the draft.
