[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 917195, member: 4199"] It's really hard. I think you are basically correct though. It's a passing league, so you want pass defenders. For linemen, that means favoring pass rush ability. That tends to mean smaller and faster. (though obviously that is relative. 285 is still a big man.) No one is going to turn down a big man who is ALSO fast and a good pass rusher, but one tends to exclude the other. Having one man anchor on 1st and 2nd down still has value. This trend goes back to our Super Bowl Team in '96. Sure we had as your anchor Gilbert at 360 or however huge he was, but Dotson was 275-285-ish and a better rusher. Sean Jones was 270 and was the weakside speed rusher. Yeah, Reggie was 305-315, but he's an anomaly. Just like Watt is today. [/QUOTE]
