The Munoz comparison is also a little rough considering he's already missed more games than Munoz did in his first decade in the league. He's had injuries to his shoulders in college, his knee last year, at a position where both are critical.
Callahan said this at the combine about the offensive line:
“I think it’s a priority in the draft,” Callahan said. “We don’t have enough players on the roster currently, especially at tackle, so we need to find them. What that means for us and where they come from, I’m not sure. But we’re going to need offensive linemen. The numbers dictate it.”
Currently on the offensive line we have:
C: Billy Price, Hopkins, Lundblade
G: Boling, Miller, Redmond, Westerman, and Taylor
T: Glenn, Hart, Perkins
I think if Taylor was a Tackle ( they may think he is, but he's listed at guard ) he'd have a better chance, but right now there's a ton of things working against him. Hopefully he can become something, but he's already lost a year of development with a staff that didn't bring him in.
I wouldn't get mad if they took an OT in 1. They're a Glenn injury away from starting the backup swing guy. That's scarier than Captain Drive Killer Hart starting every game. I'm not sure a tackle worthy the 11th pick is in this draft, but perhaps they will think otherwise.
I also am not a fan of taking any linebacker other than White in 1. That also tilts the scales to a OT, at least a hair.
