Ratliff under SOS
Lewis under Meyer, started in the championship game
Haden was supposed to play offense but switched to CB to get on the field quicker.
Dunbar should’ve been switched
Also FSU switched Lane to defense and he played alright for his first year there
Thanks for answering. Law is so full of himself, remembers one WR in 25 years moving to DB and thinks it's just something that's easy to do.
Lewis was mediocre at best...and started due to being the last man standing.
Ratliff was always a DB from what I remember (same w/ Haden).....but most HS kids that are WR's are also HS DB's, unless they play at an IMG type school that is a football factory.
Making the transition from WR to DB isn't difficult, but that doesn't mean they'll be an SEC caliber DB. He's more likely to be a mediocre DB vs. being SEC caliber.
Yes, Dunbar....the old fall back. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Personally, I'd rather our coaches and recruiting staff do what they are paid to do: evaluate HS recruits talent and determine "This kid has NFL DB talent....let's sign him to play DB" vs. "move all of our failed WR's to DB". Seems pretty simple. We should be able to sign top quality DBs vs moving the WR's we mis-evaluated over to DB.
