Over the past five drafts, Seattle Seahawks’ GM John Schneider has spent 11 picks on offensive linemen. That works out to be about 27 percent of all his picks in that time frame. Considering that most NFL rosters devote 18-19 percent of their space to the O-line, that tells you something.
It tells you that for quite some time now, Schneider has been trying to construct a quality line. The fact that six of those eleven picks came in the last two drafts suggests that he has not had much success.
Will this year be different? In addition to three draft picks on linemen, including the Hawks’ top pick, the GM gave his fifth-highest free agent contract of 2025 to an offensive lineman.
