From what I have seen its usually the opposite the elite offensive lineman are likely to play multiple positions


It certainly *can* happen, if a top flight OT goes to a team with two locked in Seniors at OT for example, but they're too good to waste on the bench, but more frequently, it's what I added to my last comment. Coaches go after guys that have enough athleticism to possibly play OT... if they don't make it, they'll usually still work out at Guard... It's essentially the same logic, just timing/rationale is different. A guy that strictly projects to OG or OC, is highly unlikely to develop into an OT...

The OL switch is, and has never been a problem, unless it's completely blatant. Even having an OL guy go to DL has been done and is no problem. I have never argued the fact that every single OL drafted, had to be slotted in the position listed. If there was ever a discrepancy, I just asked for an article to be linked showing where that player would be shown to play that certain position in college. I'm even completely fine with a QB/DT being slotted at WR if there was sufficient evidence of that happening.

We all know the blatant attempts. It's been called out before and has been rectified. Except this year. Y'all can continue to discuss, but I'm not. There is no prize to be won here other than bragging rights. If someone feels the needs to take advantage of the rules to the fullest to draft their team, then so be it.

Thanks for the discussion on the matter though.
