Position Change (2019): Jaguars *WITHDRAWN*

The Jaguars have moved rookie RE Evander Eatmon to OLB as his size and skillset are better suited for the team's 3-4 defense.

I thought we couldn't move rookies?

ROOKIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR NATURAL POSITION UNTIL THEIR FIRST OFF-SEASON (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LEFT/RIGHT SWAPS & ALLOWABLE DEPTH CHART SUBSTITUTIONS)
That was taken from the position change thread.

I am glad you guys caught this, as it shows that people actually pay attention to our laundry list of rules. lol

Basically Doug jumped the gun a little on this one. This was something we discussed and ultimately neglected to act on, until now. As you may have seen, we have changed the restrictions on position changes to now allow rookies to change (DETAILS HERE). This was something we have had much discussion (and debate) over, and Doug was just a little ahead of the curve with his request.

Thanks for looking out and don't ever hesitate to speak up if you see something out of line!

In light of the rule change, approved.

This guy would have been a top 10 pick if new rule had came out before the draft.

This position change has been withdrawn

I mis-read the position change as OLB to DE instead of DE to OLB.

Strike my comment from record. I am a retard.

Duly noted.....
