Grant at LB?

I realize that it may be a little late in the season for this, but with such a glaring need for LBs, why not convert an already trimmed down Grant? At 280, he may be a bit heavy, but he has speed, ability to shed blocks, great tackling skills, good ball awareness and the intelligence to transition. I know that learning coverages may be tough, but defenses have been known to be flexible. He still could guard a tight end or spy on a mobile qb. Why not make this "LT" type move? How much could this hurt?
