We don't know. He might really be that bad. He might just need more time. So many guys came into the NFL looking like him and eventually became starters. And yes, a whole bunch of them failed or never became tackles.
Are you going to write off ALL tackles who struggle in their first seasons as guards at best?

Andrew Thomas.. a top 5 LT at minimum

As a rookie, Thomas never went more than two straight games without giving up a sack, surrendering a league-high 10 that season. He gave up 57 pressures in 2020 — 14 more than any other lineman, according to PFF. He was, admittedly, a mess.

Darnell Wright sucked as a rookie. Broderick Jones. The list goes on..
This staff felt VERY good about Kingsley going into the year. They don’t just pencil rookies in for starting roles. And he had that. He also just turned 22.
That’s why throwing a ton of assets on another unknown doesn’t make sense. Will he develop into a franchise LT? No idea. But it’s not out of the realm of possibility
