"athletic small school tackle" is prime material for NFL guard.
Bartch isn't going to overpower the elites, he's gonna have to learn every position on the line and be ready to play any of them at a moment's notice if he wants to make a career of this.

He was actually a TE his first few years in college. Then he gained a bunch of weight within like a year or 2 and moved to OT

I don't generally think athletic college tackles end up at Guard, they're more the bigger powerful guys who don't move well enough to play outside. Bartch seemed better built to play tackle but evidently they didn't think he could handle it.
