Well from what scouting reports I read that are still available, he's supposedly a better run blocker than a pass blocker, and pass blocking is where he's had his clock cleaned. I think he's young enough to develop more upper body strength in the pass blocking area, and if run blocking is his strength - I think he can make the team as a extra lineman for the run and as a 2nd or third string left tackle.
he has 2nd round athleticism and that should count for something.
