I don't know if you are misremembering little. But he started every game from a freshman on at LT.  You can make a lot of critiques about him but raw isn't one of them 

There have been plenty of guys who have started a lot of games in college and still were considered raw when they went to the NFL. Playing time =/= development.

literally andrew thomas was not seen as raw.  hell his scouting report literally says "He's a Day 1 starter who comes in well-coached and technically savvy"

From Rotoworld's writeups:

If Thomas can smooth out some of his clunky footwork and balance issues, he may develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber tackle sooner rather than later.

Literally in the same sentence of the article you are citing:

Quote

occasional leaning, lunging and inconsistent knee bend in pass pro could be isolated and attacked by pass-rush wolves looking to feast if he doesn't get those areas cleaned up.

Among the weaknesses listed in that article:
 

Quote

 

Needs to improve foot positioning to help steer and secure kick-outs

Pass slides are choppy and lack desired smoothness

 

Maybe we have different definitions of "raw" here.
