I think he will develop rapidly and yes, I think he will see PT freshman year at guard then start at guard sophomore year. Then move to RT junior year.
After this thread I'll temper my expectations on Heard because some other articles I read gave me the impression that he could be a plug and play at RT.

Yes. IMO, Heard is talented enough to start at RT next year. I could also see LSU sticking with the Campbell & Jones tackle combo and Heard starting off at guard as previously mentioned.
I think Jones will ultimately be a guard in the NFL.

Apparently those articles were sunshine pumping. Very few are really plug and play that 1st year. Elite programs should seek to be in a situation depth wise to redshirt all true FR OL. As the video attests, there is a huge physical difference from what they're used to in HS. And as much as some don't like to admit it, some teams have guys across the line that are better than our guys will see in practice. Most just aren't ready.
Campbell is rare and Jones isn't really ready. He's just better than the alternatives and is likely a guard long term. Just so happens to be very talented and playing up. He will have moments of frustration(for us as fans) as the year goes.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. A lot of his movements and technique don't seem fluid yet, as if he is thinking about every step. He does have the size and what looks like a drive to be dominant. With that being said, a couple more years of training and competition, he certainly can be something special. I don't see day one starts from him, though.
