So I've scouted just about the whole draftboard and after analyzing the players have come up with a few questions...


I didn't find anything different between cb's and sf's. The intelligence factor is what I thought would be different, but it wasn't.

I didn't find any difference between fb and ol. I thought fb would have more carrying than an ol, but it did not.

Is there any difference between fb and ol in build then? Between cb and sf?

I also was perplexed by the skill I like the least, positioning, as it was important for almost every position. Really?

Agility wasn't nearly as important as I thought it would be for defensive players and the oline. Why logically would it not?


Finally, the TE has to be the most difficult position to build!

I haven't seen any differences either, but it may still be a bit early to tell the differences in agility. We may see players who get juked out of their shoes by the end of next season.

It seems the obfuscating on the draft board is working

There is only a very small difference between CB and SF, both are called DBs very often. But there is a difference, it is "hidden" in the weighting of the skills.

FB vs OL: yes there are differences. OK, both are blockers, so this part is quite similar. But the OL won't have the carrying abilities, which consists of carrying of course, and some helpers out of the physicals as example.

For myself I consider agility one of the most {censored} skills in the game.

Complexity: TE and FB, since both roles are quite similar...but yes, the TE is #1 IMO

So, does intelligence not play a significant role for a safety? I've been building my team thinking intelligence is important for that position.

I see that carrying is important for a fb if they rush, I just noticed that carrying wasn't significant in the draftees.

Agility is perplexing. Based on draftees it is apparent that some positions it is critical while others it is not. However, when thinking about the position it doesn't always seem to match up.

Is seems to me, that almost all the draftees have elevated intelligence - - so it's a little hard to tell which position require it or not. Maybe they all do to some degree?

In RL, a CB is often in one-on-one coverage (which doesn't really exist in RZA). A safety is more often providing coverage help or covering a zone. Also, may provide some run defense support too.

I only came to that conclusion because I had a few safeties at 28-35 out of the last few drafts when I scouted them....

It's only my supposition, but for me SF(in RZA, not in RL) may have less INT than other defensors.

About FB vs OL. Do you really not see the big difference between these positions in physical skills

I did analyse 4 drafts (2 RZA and 2 in the test system) and came up with following averages in int:

POS int
QB 48
FB 40
RB 40
TE 40
WR 43
OL 40
DL 39
LB 47
CB 40
SF 40
KR 39
G 40
K 39
P 39

So it looks like the QB abd the LB are the braniacs, the rest is more or less even.

Speed is pretty much the only difference in physicals.

Ah, I used to count agility as a physical skill
