I don't understand what future problem you see? Is the future problem having 300 pound OL being turned into RBs? Because if so, your concern is illogical. No OL is going to be generated with enough Carry, Avoid, or Break Tackle to make them a viable RB. And OL are already starting to be generated with 50-100 SP in all leagues. A SP conversion across leagues would just level the OL immediately instead of having to wait another calendar year to collect enough players with enough SP to be viable.

Also, if a player is good enough to play OL at 250 pounds now, he'll still be good enough to play OL when he has 100 SP. If an owner wants to move him to RB, so be it. The owner would have moved the player to RB to begin with. Having more RBs or FBs or TEs in the league is a small price to pay for having OL that can actually block.

the bigger problem is that everyone's
current offensive line is obsolete....
...after the current season...

...everyone should be told ...by the
commissioner....not buried in this
thread which is read by only a few owners...

That's a good point. I already shared that with MFN-19, but haven't sent it out to all of my leagues yet.

So I'm guessing this wasn't something any of the MFN1 owners knew about?

Not dissing the league but I thought that's where everything was tested. Usually news trickles out what's forthcoming.

OL with SP wasn't announced at all. I didn't hear about it until Lellow pointed it out.

Recent allocation draft in 75 .. my team picked OL in the following rounds:

5
11
14
17
21

and the code changes and these picks are essentially worthless?

At work and on break and not a lot of time to look over the players to see if they are ok .. sigh.

I might be rebuilding in Year 2 .. lol

Round 1 - RB
Rounds 2-6 - OL

I win the "this is some BS" award. I'm considering leaving all of my leagues for the next allocation draft since I'll be rebuilding all of them.

i think we are all in the same boat. I thought i read where interior line didn't need to have speed but mostly just offensive tackles, is this wrong? Until the weight fix is in people are just going to move fullbacks and tightends to line with no penalty. IMO lineman should never be 100 speed and there should be way less 100 speed defensive ends, but that's a different argument.

It is only the tackles, yes. I thought about just going through and doing a mass update to give a speed attribute to all offensive tackles, but am concerned about that having a lot of unintended consequences.

I think that there should be an equal number of 100 SP DEs and 100 SP OTs.
