Exactly. Personally I hope Campbell is wrong about Gettis as I like him better then LeRiberus. Even though LeRibeus has that "the coaches and scouts saw something in him that we didn't" factor.

Most rookie OL struggle. (do the people bashing Hurt remember our beloved Trent Williams rookie year? and he was the #4 pick)
Playing on the OL is learned over time the few that are good right out the`gate are usually early picks.

This late round draft pick comes in and plays in a pinch due to injury and the running game improves.

I think its flat out wrong to speculate Hurt as being on the outside looking in terms of making the team.
