Re: Value of positions in football?
[ QUOTE ]
QB is far ahead of the rest in the NFL. RB is far ahead in High school. College is somewhere between these two.
The other positions are much closer and depend a great deal on the scheme and the particular opposition. A particular individual player can also be so great that he increases the importance of his position. Barry Sanders, Moss, Dion Sanders, LT are all examples of this.
Also, centers are probably the least important of the OL, blind side tackle is easily the most. For college running teams, gaurds are very important.
Safetys are probably more important than corners in college, but not in the NFL.
Defensive ends and devensive tackles are too close to call.
