RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider won’t say who he plans to draft, of course, but he admits the offensive line is a priority in next week’s NFL draft.

"Sure, I’d be lying to you if I told you any different," Schneider said. "But saying that, it doesn’t mean that we need to go hog wild doing something, either. We are going to continue fixing as we go. I don’t mean fix it, address it, as we go.

"It could be the draft. It could be a [salary] cap casualty in the summer. It could be someone who was just waived. It could be a trade. We’ll never stop evaluating every position."

The Seahawks are down two starters on the line from last season. Left guard James Carpenter signed with the New York Jets as a free agent and center Max Unger was traded to New Orleans in the deal that brought tight end Jimmy Graham to Seattle.

Alvin Bailey (pictured), going into his third season, is the projected starter for now at left guard. Patrick Lewis, who started four games at center last season, is the likely starter at center at this point, but the Seahawks also have veteran offensive linemen Lemuel Jeanpierre, who can play guard or center. He was re-signed on Monday.

Schneider was asked if it’s possible the Seahawks could start a rookie draft choice at center in 2015.

"With [offensive line] Tom Cable and his staff, I think it’s viable," Schneider said. "You have to remember, both sides of the ball here have very good teaching staffs."

Schneider was asked how much input Cable has into the offensive linemen the team might draft.

"We’re not going to draft a guy [Cable] doesn’t like," Schneider said. "He doesn’t have the final say, but we would never draft somebody he doesn’t think could play. You are totally spinning your wheels there."

For example, Cable loved second-round draft pick Justin Britt last year, partially because of Britt’s wrestling background. Britt started all 16 regular-season games last season at right tackle.
