Credit to Lance Zierlein. He nailed the scouting report on this kid.
Overview A five-star recruit coming out of high school, Suamataia spent time at Oregon before transferring to BYU and finding two years of starting experience. He has good size and adequate play strength, but sloppy hand placement limits control and consistency as both a run and pass blocker. Suamataia could struggle to handle NFL edge speed in pass protection, but he’s quick enough for move-blocking duties in outside zone and in space. He can redirect and mirror counters when he’s postured up and appears capable of dealing with bull rushers. The tape is more solid than spectacular, but Suamataia has the ability to become an average starting tackle on the right side. Weaknesses -Average slide quickness forces gate to open prematurely. -Lacks sudden hands to find opponent’s frame first. -Oversetting creates inside pathways for rushers. -Heavy-footed recoveries won’t help much when beaten. -Sloppy hand placement limits block control in run game. -Fairly average contact balance at point of attack.

When every Chiefs reporter hints at something it usually means it’s accurate

Nope. Being a 5 star recruit sometimes comes from what teams are interested in them. There are tons of five star recruits who don’t accomplish much in the NFL. Two that come to mind are Fields and Hardman.

It can also allow him to have success while continuing to get better. It really doesn't mean much for his long-term prognosis at LT.

They aren't putting him at G in hopes to put him back at T long term fellas.

Morris and Kingsley are probably both guards, nothing wrong with that just have to actually find some OTs.

There are lots of 5-star recruits who don't do squat in college.

And there's nothing mentally that makes him more likely to fail at OT than at OG right now. If you put him at OG right now, I think he might be the same liability he is at OT apart from the position simply having help on either side (which again gets back to the Creed question - why would we pay an IOL that kind of money if a bad OT can be a passable to good OG?) I think ultimately they're trying to see if they can make him playable this year. He's gonna be rostered, might as well see if there's a situation where you can use him if you need him. I don't think this should (or will) close the door on him at OT long-term. If he gets the hand technique down, the feet and length will play at OT. And if he doesn't get that down, he's still going to get his ass kicked inside.

Yes he’s had his struggles, but look around the league. Wanya would probably be one of the best swing tackles in the league. Majority of them are not good.
