Roster Building- Rank these 6 areas

[TwistedL0g1k]

Please start your post with only these 6 position groups ranked by importance:

1) QB
2) DL
3) OL
4) Offensive "skill"
5) Secondary
6) LB

I'm pretty confident of my ranking of 1-3, but less so of 4-6.

How do you rank the importance of these positions?

in todays NFL i think its like so:
1. QB
2. OL
3. Offensive Skills
4. DL
5. Secondary
6. LB

what i want is what you have. Today Modern NFL is about offense and scoring points. they pad it that way for betting purposes, so Defense is handcuffed.

1) QB
2) OL
3) DL
4) Offensive "skill"
5) Secondary
6) LB

 

[jblaze2004]

1) QB
2) OL
3) DL
4) Offensive "skill"
5) Secondary
6) LB

I believe this also

 

[Mikexike]

1) DL
2) OL
3) QB
4) O Skills
5) LB
6) Secondary

 

[Pass2Run]

OL/QB
DL
LB/secondary
Skill players

The truth is, you need them all.

 

[DRella]

1) QB
2) OL
3) DL
4) CB
5) RB

 

[VaqueroTD]

1) DL
2) OL
3) QB
4) O Skills
5) LB
6) Secondary

DL definitely underrated. Everyone knows how important a good pass rush can be, but lost in the usual hype for the skilled players is most recent Super Bowl winners had some dominant DTs. I used to rank offensive line higher until I saw our Great Wall 2 get pushed around in some of those playoff losses in the Romo-to-Dak years.

QB is definitely important but sometimes feel in recent years they have overpriced themselves. Great if you get a HOF QB but most of these guys breaking salary records are probably not HOF bound including our own Dak. You’re stuck with a huge contract if it doesn’t work out.

This is a tough assignment because having dominance in one area can make another area less important. A great offensive line can make up for a deficiency at the skill positions. Likewise a great pass rush can make up for a poor secondary, or a great secondary can make up for a mediocre pass rush.

I think the most important thing is for a team to have an identity. Play defense, high scoring offense, speed, power, just pick an identity and build towards that. I wish the Cowboys would play tough defense and run the football more. I would not build around Dak throwing the ball 40 times a game.

Butif we have to rank the position groups, I think your ranking is probably pretty close.

I value the trenches, especially seeing what the eagles have been doing and how they destroyed KC in the Superbowl.

Good D Line beats Great QBs most of the time.
