Yes, I think in the past it could be done but then barriers were put in place with the 'body frame' addition.

My thinking is that the player will hit a brick wall and not get his weight down to nearly CB capable otherwise why would JDB have implemented this new twist to position changes.

However, a 7th rounder. Heck, try it and see if I'm wrong because I've never attempted to shift that much in this new world. :)

Update: I have a frame of reference. A 6'5" RB. Looks like he has leveled off at 207 pounds, therefore, SS/FS appears to be the possible landing destination.




Frame is just a reference to how far a player will deviate for his generated weight. The only part it s has to do with real frame is the original player generation . As DEs will never be generated below 6 foot or RBS never generated at 6'7. Same for there weight. I think the lowest wieght I've seen a de might have been 238#s and the max like 320-330#s. Every position could gain or lose 100 pounds at the same rate , but that's what's is random now.

It creates a frame, but a de at 256 #s is only more likely play at 191#s because he has less room to travel. But after that it's random . ..like Smirt said check and see how fast he's moving cause that trend will continue yet slow as it reaches the new positions weight .

Recently I drafted a 6 '7 TE to play rb he's already 223#s. I figured he could
get below 200#, but I think he started at like 243#s

A little update on Mr. Ramirez.



Considering his growth in M2M and B&R coverage, I'm really tempted to test him as a CB and see if he can become faster. I'd ideally want him to get to 85+ which I doubt he can, though.

Edit: I play with slightly changed Setherick sliders, if anyone wonders about the rating.

My first thought was SS where he can use his height and cover skills to cover the TE in man defense. But CB is an option.

Being a rookie, I would make him a MLB this season and see how his weight adjusts and if desired he can change from MLB to CB or SS in year 2.

This makes him extremely valuable for depth.

He's in his 2nd season now CJ.

It's my 7th rounder from when you joined the league. :-)
