I have had np switching LB's to RDE or even LDE and them finish with 30+ sacks in the season. If you want your team to be successful you need to keep pressure on the QB and make him throw early or take a sack. QB's will pick you apart without pressure. I believe DE is the most important position on D even over CB's
On this, speed kills on the D-Line (especially at end) and is really all you need paired with acceleration. I noticed you wanted space eaters in the OP, but they play really handicapped compared to the speed rushers. Speed is effective for ends because they break around the pocket easily but I find you need both it and Pass Rush/Run Stuff to be a force at DT.
In MFN6, which I assume he is talking about, Morbid made a huge trade for an outside linebacker. I ridiculed him for it at first but it ended up being well worth it. He's been one of the most productive players in the league at DE.
Also in MFN6 I have an end with 100 speed and 100 acceleration. He is only 80 overall with my current weights yet somehow he is one of the leagues marquee players. He has 116 sacks in the last three seasons (almost 40 per year) and is the all time career sack leader.
