We're all going in blind this year though, so who knows.

Well, here's what cdcox said on this issue:

My intention is that you will be able to move players around to a realistic extent. If you move someone who has played RT his whole career to a demanding position like LT, there is going to be a downgrade in performance. If you move the same RT to G, that may not be such a stretch. If you have a finess pass blocking LT and try to put him at RT, your power running may be affected. Eric Berry can clearly play either S position, but Lewis would probably get a downgrade if you move him to SS.
A light pass-rushing DE could probably move to rush OLB.
You get the idea. We may not do this perfectly in year 1, but that is the plan.

There should be some sort of penalty for players switching schemes but what do you do with players who have excelled in both schemes?
Doesn't seem like there is an easy workaround.
Of course I can't even fathom the work that went into the statistical crunching for 22 different positions, so maybe this is already accounted for.
