NT in a 3-4 isn't a super complicated position or task
You realize the whole task of our NT will change if they do indeed have to move Godchaux to end, right?
Even with that being said, there's a little more too it than just being big & fat. More than likely none of these guys have much experience playing this technique
While we are on the subject of moving Godchaux, he might as well put Roddy back on defense since we're speculating

Obviously, but lets not pretend he will have to learn something the equivalent of MLB or Safety....
My point is, NT is one of the easier positions to learn, but a big part of it is having a player that commands blocks...
Translation: Valentine should be able to make a smooth entrance here

Should have never been moved in the first place. Young DL need to get reps on that side, not playing around 6th on the depth chart at TE so he can have his big blocking TE.

That's a good idea!

I think the thing is that I haven't ever seen anyone (other than you now) define Valentine's main attributes as being "big and fat".
How about "big and explosive" instead - which seems to be how everyone else defines him. And this has nothing to do with where he has spent his past two seasons - his physical tools are what they are.
Sure, he will almost certainly be rusty for a few weeks or even more. And while recent reports are that he showed up at LSU in very good physical condition, I admit it is going to take some time until he is in true "football shape".
Frankly, it is probably wishful thinking for LSU fans to expect Valentine to have a Ricky Jean-Francois type of impact as soon as he steps on the field. But it isn't out of the question either. Valentine is an amazing physical speciman.
