Yes, as you've all said there's a body frame limit put in place. Most radical I've gotten is reducing a TE over time to WR. So, figure a 6'3" TE trying to descend to 198 lbs. I believe sometimes it halts on the way down to somewhere between WR and RB weight. Also, it'll take awhile to get there.....down to RB, for instance.
I've never tried to reduce a 6'4" or 6'3" d-lineman down to CB figuring the body frame element would impede it or make the CB ineffective due to over-size height.
Flip side, I know JDB and the Gang got mad and made it so that DBs *** rushing the show at DE got mashed and crushed so I try to be careful with testing limits.
Your 6'3-4" 270# DE will likely end up in the 220 range, which is fine for a DB as long as he has good acceleration.
When looking at players over RB weight (217#) or WLB weight (237#), the separating factor is AC. AC is largely negligible for light weight players because they get their body weight moving pretty quickly (which is why a 60 SP, AC, 100 B&R, 100 Courage WR will still tear up the Hitch route), but it's extremely important for players over that weight to get moving. It's why your 80 SP, 10 AC TE gets outperformed by someone's 50 SP, 80 AC TE or <whatever scenario involving players >240# here>.
