It would definitely be outside the box thinking, and they did manage to win a similar question by turning Cannon into a quality tackle.
That said, from Scar after he was drafted: "We drafted (Thuney) to play inside and also knowing that in a pinch he could help us outside. He's going to be an inside player unless disaster hits and then he's going to be an outside player."
New England Patriots drafted Joe Thuney to play on interior offensive line, says Dante Scarnecchia
So if they did that, either they think he's grown so much as a player such that his arm length wouldn't be a detriment at tackle long-term, or they view losing Solder and not keeping Waddle or Fleming as disasters (which presumably by their nature they didn't plan for).
Different era, but Matt Light was about the same size as Thuney.
