And to answer your question, No. He was moved from RT to LT because he sucked complete ass at RT.

What? Are you sure you were watching Boston College games? He was the best player on the field for BC in their bowl game this year and has always been very impressive every time I've seen BC games over the past three years. I'm sure that the guys who put him on almost every single 2010 All-American team probably didn't know as much as you in terms of evaluating talent.
He was playing guard in the Senior Bowl as they were moving guys around at a number of positions.
And he has enough skill and talent to have been put in as the starter at right tackle as a freshman at Boston College, even though he only weighed 265 lbs. at the time. He got moved over to left tackle his sophomore year and started every game there for three straight years. In addition, Boston College does run a pro style zone blocking set, which is why you see a lot of their offensive linemen acclimate rather quickly to the pros. And as Costanzo is one of the highest regarded BC linemen ever, I think he's got a decent shot at being able to contribute sooner rather than later and at a higher level than a lot of the linemen in this draft.
I really wouldn't put too much stock into the actual Senior Bowl game. It's always been a defensive lineman showcase versus the offensive line and not a real true measure of evaluating talent, especially the O-line.
Costanzo is a pure left tackle at the next level, and he'd immediately be a better option than what we are currently parading out there on Sundays.
