CON

The funniest part is that I'm going to make an argument against what I would probably do in this situation, but there are two reasons to consider (not) moving* from S to CB here.

skillset
if a safety is on the upside in M2M and BnR, but low on ZoneD, he's a prime suspect for me to move to CB; but if the player is high on RunD, ZoneD, Play diagnosis I want him to stick at playing safety. A stud S is usually high on these latter skills, hence, I want him to contribute more. A side effect for a S to Cb switched with high BnR and M2M bars will be a higher rated player, which will actually have a negative effect on the second consideration.

cap figure
It appear that highly rated CBs ask for more money than highly rated Ss, which makes it a cap unfriendly move to switch your best DB from S to CB. In a way, it might be better to instead position switch your stud CB to S and come out with a more cap friendly secondary. Obviously a non-issue in the first 3 or 4 seasons, but down the road, it will matter.


* I'm working under the assumption here that a move here isn't just playing the S at a CB slot but actually position switching him. There might be too little penalty for playing out of position to counter the negative effects mentioned above, but I'm one that still want to make the actual position switch if it makes sense. Perhaps just to help myself remember that I want the player to player at his 'natural' position.
