He hasn't even played a single snap at left tackle yet.

Possible 1st round LT bust, not a complete bust, I think he may need to be moved to guard. His preseason performance, he was exceptional against the run, and he was horrible with pass blocking. As a rookie, it is one thing to get burned by starting edge rushers and a completely different thing to be burned by guys who will likely not make an NFL roster. Like I said, I hope I am wrong about him, but generally guys who play guard do not need to be taken in the 1st round and can be had with day 3 draft picks.
