Definitely, plus they always try different things during OTAs.I'm seeing it more like Kromer's standard procedure for cross-training as many of his guys on the OL as possible.

And Aaron Donald is still a freak. Someday we'll have to explain to another generation what it was like to watch this guy and they're not going to believe us.
TBH I think this is what a few others have said. Training backups to be able to play multiple positions it's one of the things Kromer prizes most. If we're going to go into gamedays with only 2 backups it makes sense to have a guy that can play C/G. Demby we know has already put time in at both guard spots and not LT. Give him some time at Center and he's your most valuable backup. Then again this is the normal glass half full self thinking the best. Fortunately it also follows with what we know of McVay and Kromer.Kromers' seen enough of Demby at LT. alm:

We were all well aware that the Rams knew he was a big developmental prospect. But he did have some very good skills that needed refinement. His biggest issues were LT related naturally since that's where he played & started for four seasons. Most said he lacked fluid footwork for off the edge play. Jamil Demby would get tall & was heavy-footed plus marginally athletic against the pass rushers. Not good stuff if your play LT in the NFL.Wow trying Demby at center
Demby at center makes me think one of two things is happening.
1. They're thinking, "wow this guy can do anything!"
Or
2. They're thinking, "holy crap Demby, show me you can do something"
I don't have an attachment to Demby, nor have I scouted him or formed an opinion about him (bad or good). That's just my pure outsider reaction to trying him at center.
Demby at center. That just doesn't sit right with me.
I know I'm no expert at identifying talent but to me, Demby is a JAG.
I just don't see him making the roster.
