Why do people insist on ruining stud players?
If a CB is your need, trade down and get the best CB. Chances are he will be a better CB than a converted Safety.
This seems to be a trend and maybe I just don't get it. Can someone educate me with some anecdotal evidence at least?[/quotea983a68]
Meadows is basically an AAA CB. (The 40 time is merely above average. Everything else is through the roof.) Here's some anecdotal evidence from last year's NAFL draft:
1.22 - SS Tito Mallard 6'0", 199 - 40: 4.45 Bench: 14 Agility: 7.25 Broad Jump: 8'2"
Tito is currently a 56/68 CB for the Patriots. I think that compares very favorably across the board to:
1.11 - SS Derek Meadows 6'0", 198 - 40: 4.46 Bench: 18 Agility: 6.94 Broad Jump: 8'1"
That doesn't make it a guarantee, of course. There's always a risk in making a position switch, but it seems to work pretty well for rookies that are the ideal size. (I wouldn't try this with a safety over 200 pounds, for example.) To me, Meadows was the only viable option at CB, but we'll see how it goes.
Also, can I take your complaint to mean you were considering Meadows?[/quotea983a68]
Meadows was obviously a stud to be drafted before I would be able to get him but this is not the first time someone has taken a S to turn into a CB. Meadows was the earliest person I have seen drafted with the intent of being switched - the risk seems awfully high, but I have fairly limited experience with FOF and have rarely seen benefits to position changes, even rookies. Maybe I need to try it more.
It wasn't a complaint as much as a misunderstandng as to why someone who is the best available at their position would be switched considering what I perceive to be a substantial risk. I am just looking for an explanation for something I consider extreme. I can't say it's a bad idea either considering the secondary talent available in this draft.[/quotea983a68]
in my experience i have never had great luck swithing a player from S to CB, sometimes the switch is no change, but never have a seen it say that it could increase the players rating, usually its a loss, the same can not be said for the reverse, switching a player from CB to S you can frequently increase a players rating. thats just some things i've noticed. good luck on the change, his volitity was too high for me to have taken a chance on but thats just me.
