I'm in no way certain it's a good idea, but it may still be the team's best option. As has been said
ad nauseum, Suamataia has the physical profile and showed enough on film and/or practice that Andy was ready to roll with him his first game as a rookie.
I'm in no way an expert, but my understanding is that left tackles rarely thrive in their rookie seasons. If Andy thinks Kingsley has improved, why wouldn't he put him out there again? It's easily the best-case scenario, although a scenario that carries substantial risk. But what do you expect from a raw project picked at the end of the second round? Eric Fisher, the first pick of the draft, looked completely lost for two years. I don't see the team moving Kingsley to guard that quickly with those physical tools.
Unless Andy and Heck think Kingsley is a bust I'm not willing to give up the dream yet -- particularly with the appalling lack of other options.
