The practice squad guys are G/C types, I wonder if any of the PS OT's we had last year are available, at least they would know the system.
Greg Senat is on Dallas, Jackson Barton is on the Giants, Ryan Hunter is on the Chargers so no help there.

Durant is huge, which is cool; but he doesn't seem to be all that functionally strong. I expect a full offseason strength and conditioning program would be helpful.
As you noted, he also looks to have slow feet, which is normal for a 6'6" 330 lb. guy, but right now he doesn't look strong enough at the point of attack to overcome that. I think he just doesn't look ready to play in the NFL right now.
