He needs to be Jake Long or Joe Thomas given his draft selection. Anything less is a bust. Is it fair to him? Maybe not, but that's too bad because that has to be his expectation.

Playing LT on the NFL level is different than playing LT on the MAC level. And he still has a ton of shit in terms of muscle memory he has to train himself out of. 2 preseason games on limited snaps isn't going to magically make him an NFL left tackle.
And I could give a shit about his draft position. I hated the pick. I despise taking a LT at 1.1. He'll never live up to the pick. But that's not what this is about anymore. The question is if he can start LT for the Chiefs. It's way too soon for us to know that.
