Yeah, in my head the statement was kind of implied as "under BB", but looking back I realize there's nothing in the thread that really made that distinction, so good catch. I'm probably just so used to the recent discussions of Belichick's WR draft record that I automatically merged it with those.
I knew that there were rumblings about Edelman moving to WR, but I didn't recall it being his announced position. I remember a quote from BB from somewhere that said something like, "We don't know where you're going to play, but we're going to use you." or along those lines. Either way, it was pretty obvious early on that Julian was going to play WR if he was going to stick, so your point stands regardless.
