The worst that can happen is he gets reinjured and we're right where we are now. But the upside is he might get some needed playing time before stepping into a bigger role next season.

Plus, as a fan, I'd like to see what the kid's got. I went around kicking puppies for a week after the pick, but I'm still hopeful he turns out to prove me wrong.

Even if no one else is injured on the O-Line for the rest of the year, they should get him practice time in order to accelerate his learning.  Why wait, six months or more, when the kid can learn now and be ahead and prepared for next year, as long as he's physically ready?  This will give him a chance to understand what he needs to work on in the off season.
