Offensive Line, along with Receiver and QB, seems to be a position that takes guys a couple of years to develop. I'm guessing there are more successful mid to late round picks starting on OL than any other position in the league.
Point being that the staff may think that some of the young guys, like Taylor, may develop into a solid start, which would explain why they didn't draft more than two linemen. Granted, I don't know what they would have done if a 3rd/4th round talent like Richardson hadn't been there in the 6th, but he was and they nabbed a 2nd linemen with potential.
Clearly, too, they thought that TE was a bigtime position of need or they wouldn't have drafted two of them.
