Sure, but if you call, there's going to be times when someone bets again and you have to fold. Some of those times you will feel stupid for calling the flop bet and some times you will fold the best hand if the guy is aggro enough to bet twice with a draw.
Other times it will check around like you said and youre going to lose a good percentage of those also to outdraws. Its just not worth calling OOP with a hand like this that you cant have any confidence in and youre forced to play like a passive fish. Overall I think its a -EV call.
