Mike Munchak was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001 after a remarkable career with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. The nine-time Pro Bowler later became a head coach in the NFL before serving as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach from 2014-2018.

The Denver Broncos interviewed Munchak for their head coach opening earlier this year but ended up hiring Vic Fangio instead. Fortunately, the team still managed to land Munchak, signing him as an offensive line coach.

Munchak is now helping the team evaluate offensive lineman in this year’s NFL draft.

“Mike obviously has a tremendous background,” general manager John Elway said during his pre-draft press conference Tuesday. “It’s great being around him as well as all of the new coaches to find out what they’re looking for, what they like and how they evaluate it.

“On the personnel side, on my side, we’re constantly learning from these guys. You’ll hear Mike talk about offensive linemen, what he likes and how he ranks them. To be able to have that conversation makes us better too as evaluators. Mike has been a huge help.”

After losing center Matt Paradis during free agency, the Broncos may target interior offensive linemen in the draft.

“I think we’re looking at it,” Elway said. “We have a lot of different combinations that we’re looking at. Obviously with losing Matt, we have some holes in there. We’re looking to try and do something there.”

The draft will begin Thursday and conclude on Saturday evening.
