Ersery might be better too.
As far as most drafts go, they're better than what's usually available in that range.

If the team likes a guy and believes in him, then sure. Draft him.
But don't pull another Kingsley for the love of God. If your solution to the LT problem is your drafted player, then stick by him and be patient and let him slowly get better. Or redshirt him. Or do basically anything other than what we did to Kingsley this year.
If Kingsley never sees another snap at tackle even if he ends up being a decent guard, I'll still be kind of sad. He's got the tools to be able to play tackle and all of the support/resources to make that turn into being a good starter through his own family and the coaches here. He deserves another shot at tackle at some point. Maybe not this year, maybe not even on this team, but at some point. And if he never gets it, it's all because we ****ed that up for him and in the process we likely hurt ourselves.
