Did he not fail terribly in Atlanta as an ILB? Reading through some tidbits about him indicate that WLB may be his best fit. 

As a full time starter, he was not great. But as a fill in guy, he is good depth at MLB and WIL. He is also a nice ST player.

44. Paul Worrilow, Detroit Lions

Coverage: 13/25
Run Defense: 15/25
Pass Rush: 7/15
Tackling: 17/25
Position Value: 7/10
Overall Grade: 59/100

Paul Worrilow was schematically a good linebacker, but not athletically. He often picked up on block schemes and triggers correctly but did not have the speed to finish. The same can be said of Worrilow in coverage, where he tends to get cooked by any skill player with baseline route-running ability. His assignment knowledge made him a decent depth player, but the Lions should look to keep their youngsters on the field instead.

Ranked 44th out of 45 for 4-3 OLBs last year according to this and they had him ranked 43rd out of 46 in 2016.

To compare Najee Goode ranked 42nd last year just ahead of him.

Seems like a weird time to do this before the draft. 

Almost like they are hedging their bets hoping the rest of the league assumes they'd never take a LB now. Don't think he changes thier plans one bit if they like someone specific.

My assumption is that they're going to look to move on from Kendricks, play primarily Hicks and Bradham at LB and let Worrilow and Nelson fill in depending what's needed when there's a 3rd LB on the field at all.
