My newest Youth Pull is a Slippery, 4* talented, 16 year old, but only 2.3 Intelligence. It seems that every position needs Intelligence and this guy is basically a moron.

wait til you know his speed and strength caps before deciding. if he ends up very strong but slow then DT/NT, if fast but weak then WR or if balanced then maybe HB/DE(not sure if intelligence is needed here but possibly)

CBs might not need that much intelligence either so if he's really fast you could play him there.

In my opinion, RB, FB and TE need less INT than others and decent guy with Slippery trait can be good in this positions

The NFL does some IQ Tests in the drafting Prozess, the result is that regularly the smartest player ist Left Offensive Tackle the "dumpest" is the Fullback. Makes sence if you see how a FB has to use his Helmet but if you look at the NFL sometimes you think Int isnĀ“t very important to play there...

OK, seriously: look for his physicals.
If the starting values are quite good, like 20+, train him and see where he fits best.
Could also become a KR or G.

Back in the days there was a statement, that there is something like "Line INT". So my guess is, that one or two morons are not that bad in a unit. As long as the INT-average of my line is 20+ I'm fine with it. I hope my idiots will choose the right role models and block or tackle or move or whatever in the right direction.

Yeah, but at CBs you'd be waiting his special trait of Slippery.

Here's my problem with this, looking at the last couple of drafts the RBs & FBs have been 40+ INT and TEs have been 30+. I'll be watching his physicals to see where they cap and make my decision, but I place a high value on Intelligence throughout my lineup and will probably end up selling him.
