JJ bumping players down a position

Different era, which people seem to never, ever want to consider. These days the big guys are WAY more athletic than they were 20 or 30 years ago. You would drop a guy to add athleticism... but these days the best guys are BIG, FAST, and ATHLETIC. "Drop" guys down today and they will get eaten alive by SEC-type athletes. There are exceptions, but its a different game.

Agreed. In a similar way, Melvin Bratton would have gone on to a nice NFL career if his injury had occurred 15 years later.
