Author Skylar Carlin (not DaSilva this time) quotes the Athletic but not Jourdan, who published this article at 3am this morning.
The overall gist is the Rams are cross training OL at multiple positions; but you can't really tell how good they are progressing until they actually have contact with other players.
"Linemen aren’t run blocking or having to truly protect the quarterback from any type of contact right now. For the Rams, these early days of OTAs are about evaluating different combinations of linemen, to see who sticks where. For many players and even coaches, this time of year is also about learning how to practice in the first place — and about resetting standards with new players and veterans."
"Shelton isn’t a giant center, but he’s bigger than Allen. Jackson is a massive presence at either guard or tackle, with long arms. Avila is built like a prototypical body-moving guard, and even Anchrum (who entered the NFL as a tackle/guard combination player) is developing more like a stout guard rather than a tackle, though he can play either position."
