** FRANCHISE WEEK! ** + Summer League

Need some thoughts from you guru's . My featured back Heurta is getting up in years. I am thinking of putting him at FL to finish his careert. Looks like a 37/56 split when I try it. I do think he would be a decent wideout.

This late in his career it's probably not worth it as he'll likely never see red experience as a wideout. Even if he comes out as 36, he'll probably top at 40 after camp and maybe 42 by the end of the year, but it's more likely he'll come out as 32 and top out at 40 if you're lucky. I could be wrong.

With the #2 overall pick you should be well off to finding yourself a stud WR and find a replacement for Heurta next year or later in this draft.

Even if you moved him to WR then you'd need a RB and you probably shouldn't take a RB at 1.2.

He can just sign Darrin Southern anyway.

Is the game saying he's going to retain a certain % of his skills? If so, I think it's a little risky. That 37/56 number you are seeing is in MP, before the sim comes back. It doesn't factor in the % lost. If the game tells you he's going to retain 76% of his skills, for example, you can expect him to come back considerably lower.

I learned this the hard way by moving a stud right tackle, Tyrus Hutton, to left tackle. Yuck.

Although maybe if he's outlived his usefulness as a RB, a much lower-rated, but skilled WR would be more important to you? Not sure what his ratings are.

Yeah, I lost a super stud DT in the early days moving him back and forth. Was just wondering if anyone had moved a RB to receiver ever.

Andy Dawson, WR in his 6th season now, was a UDFA RB I moved to WR as an experiment. He's turned out pretty solid for some scrubby RB nobody liked! So it's been done with some success. But usually you want to do it as a rookie, before big-time penalties kick in.

You guys can have DE Dotson
he wasn't worth 5 mill, so 11 mill seems out of reach
good luck on your new team

Sorry guys, I'm still here so you won't be getting a chance to start a bidding war.

Haven't needed to upload since staff 1, and I'm still using my iPhone for all my Internet tethering since moving house last month, so I'm a little quieter than usual on the forums. I'm still about and keeping up with everything.

Great analysis of the FA's Nutah

Show me the damn draft class. QB or Wr, the rest can go to hell

Of course I love turrible players. And at shitty prices.

I just took a look at Huerta in-game. He looks AWESOME! And like he needs a lot more carries. Also looks like his RR is on the low side, so a move to WR wouldn't maximize even if he does turn out to keep most of his ratings.
