I can imagine the staff might be thrilled to take Dickerson over a middling OT, even if Dickerson is destined for OG.

Hard to say what position Dickerson's billeted for. Rivals and Scout call him an OG while ESPN and 247 think he's an OT. I don't believe Dickerson, himself, has indicated either way.

Movement between OT and OG, DE and NT, ILB and OLB, or CB and S is certainly possible for many recruits.  Although less common, some of the premier athletes on the board -- such as Robertson, Burton, Bisharat, Stephens, and Long -- even have been recruited on offense and defense by various schools.  At least from the public information I've read, it seems like the staff is good about letting players initiate such moves if/when the depth chart looks appealing to the player.  Especially the elite guys may have a vision of playing a particular position in the pros and may have no desire to switch.  So it's not like we can count on such moves just because we see a need.  It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
