also, how does the game define DE/OLB? I have a few guys that are edge rushers in the 3-4 (OLB) but are listed at DE.

A really good RT is probably going to be really good at other line positions. Think the NFL. We could put Will Shields out at LT in an emergency and he was probably better than most of the LTs in the league. Move him to LG and he's probably still the best LG in the league. Maybe the same at RT or C. Obviously, he's the exception to that. If we put Asamoah at LT, would he be better than Stephenson? Probably not. So the bottom line is if you have two awesome players at one position, you're probably better off moving one to a similar position than benching him and putting a terrible player at that similar position. But at the same time, if you have Patrick Willis, Derrick Johnson, and Navorro Bowman, you shouldn't be moving any of them to a 3-4 DE spot. The position is too dissimilar.
