Question about Switching Positions

[GaryGuanine]

I picked up Peter Boulware in a Franchise I have with the Eagles and changed him to a DE. This makes him a 99 OVR. Stuff like this is well known, and is not the subject of my post.

I did a Fantasy Draft and picked up ROLBs Shawne Merriman and DeMarcus Ware, with the intent of changing Ware to a LOLB. I realize that I could probably have changed him to a phenomenal DE, but I didn't want to do it. Anyway, I can't change their positions at all. Is this a thing with all rookies? Is it tied to experience in the league?

I don't want to cheese with this one, I just want to switch the side of a rookie linebacker. Ware takes a 6-point OVR hit if I just play him on the left side, so I don't want to do that.

Does anyone know what's up?

Maybe you do not have enough players at the one position to change the player to another position

yea, it's just a weird balance, either u need to pick up another LB befor u can change one, or u need to release a DE to move someone where. IF u do both(free agent for players old position and be below league demands for his future position) u will definitly be able to change his position.

You need to have one more than the required amount (not 4 OLBs u need 2 LOLB and 2 ROLB). So that you can cange their positions. That was there last year too.

Thank you guys so much. I was re-ordering my Fantasy Draft strategy in the expectation of having to take a different LOLB.
