It didn’t but we were in the 4-3 in 2018 with a healthy Short and we were still terrible on D. Even when it was obvious that Cam couldn’t throw deep, the D couldn’t stop anyone. Does anyone really think Detroit doesn’t drive for an easy FG if Cam hits the 2 point play or even if Gano makes the FG against Seattle, Wilson had no problems driving for the winner.

If we are moving on from Cam, then I think we can build the D up and we can let Grier get mauled to see what we really have on OL. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t draft OL but the guys saying we should go all offense don’t realize how bad our D was compared to the O even with Allen. With Grier the offense was awful but he was clearly not ready at all. He’s the perfect patsy for tanking for Trevor and seeing if Little/Daley are worth anything and if Paradis is healthy enough to be a decent C.

I want to keep Cam and go C in the second while moving Paradis to LG. I think that will make 4 out of 5 positions solid on the oline and possibly, if Little works out, all 5. Paradis was good in pass pro at once and if you take him having to snap the ball then block away he may return closer to form. Just what I want imo to make us contenders again as fast as possible so we dont waste any years of CMC and prime DJ Moore.

I’d have a hard time moving Paradis. I’d rather let the rookie play LG (easiest position) and learn the ropes. That’s what I would have done with McCoy had we been smart enough to draft him. After watching Paradis flounder you can make the move, but I’d rather not have two “new” guys on the OL if you will. We don’t know if Paradis can make that transition well. There’s a lot of injuries that usually sap the production when the first year and year two is the first truly healthy year. I’m really hoping that’s the case here. Having a really good LG will help. Van Roten wasn’t a good G. He could pull but he was well below average.

I agree and hope Paradis returns to form but if not we have to get better pass pro from the center position and Tyler biasdaz is looking good in the 2nd. Like you said LG is easier to play and that's why I feel it would help Paradis if he does indeed underperform, plus there wont be 2 young guys next to each other. The line last year ranged from poor to great in run blocking and poor to average (moton was actually good in pass pro) in pass pro. I also believe that the center can make the whole interior line look worse so it has to be good.
