I plan on running a 3-4 scheme and just drafted Jordan Hicks. He did well in Philadephia's 4-3 scheme, but has really blown up this year being one of the ILB's in Arizona's 3-4.
Will players, like Jordan, get re-designated as their positions shift?

They generally get updated year over year.
So there's a way to kinda game the system here, but it's hard to pull off. For instance, if you see someone named as a safety but they're being converted to CB or a G who's being shifted to T, you may be well served to pay them long-term NOW because you'll pay them tier 3 or 4 prices instead of tier 2.
Conversely, if you draft the inverse situation where a tier 2 player is being converted to a tier 3 or 4 position this season, pay them for a single year and then use one of your 2 'franchise' options on them in the offseason to pay them under the cheaper tag NEXT year without letting them hit the market.
Now how quickly they're getting those updated in Beta mode remains to be seen, but back version 1.0, that was kinda the idea.
As for MLB vs. ILB - I've seen little real distinction. In fact, I'm often running an ILB as my Will and I've seen good results from him thus far.
As Rain Man has said when I've tried to get a straight answer from him here several times - "use your common sense". They won't give you a concrete response but ultimately you can probably get away with moving an ILB to MLB or even WLB/SLB, but you probably won't have much success doing a converstion to a strict OLB. You can probably take an OLB and get some pass rush productivity as a DE but if you take that same guy and make him a SLB or MLB, you'll probably wish you hadn't. Putting a T at G might work okay, putting one at C probably not. Putting a C at G probably okay, putting a C at T probably not.
