There's a difference between 3-4 DE & 4-3 DE, but it's not that dramatic when both are one-gap assignment-positions. Certainly not like going from DE with hand on the ground to OLB, which is a giant adjustment.

And no way do I move a guy who is playing great (Watt), in order to put a guy who is struggling in another new postition. I rotate and play all of the guys I have in the exact way I have been and I hope mario gets more comfortable as he goes.

Yes perhaps Mario is struggling at OLB, but we need to get our best players on the field and he's a Pro-Bowl DE while it appears our best edge-rushers from the OLB positions are Barwin & Reed, while the move of Watt to NT is intriguing and this gets all of our best frontend playmakers on the field at once.
