Besides, what makes you think a 6'8" dude is going to be any good at guard? That's a little tall to get low....

Whit did it at 6'7"

Ogden did it at 6'9"

They both turned out alright.

I'm sure I can find others

What you are suggesting is exactly what we did with Dax; limiting his gameday snaps as a rookie because we were set at FS. IMO they should have gotten him gameday snaps at various spots in the backfield.

It's easy to say "take all practice snaps at OT", but are you talking RT or LT or do we want to try to make him a swing tackle and jack his footwork up?

Of course only my opinion but I want to see him getting gameday reps.
