Is it as important as speed or agility for a CB? Or is it just a small factor?

I don't think it's as important as speed, agility, or even vision. However, it ranks pretty high up there, imo.

When I've rolled CB's the last few seasons, I get 8's in the minors and make sure they're 6'4". I haven't paid much attention to weight, but I think it depends on how you want to build your guy. I value strength much more than most builders, so heavier weights don't bother me. Guys who want faster CB's would probably want lighter weights (around 181 lb is the lightest I think...too lazy to look it up at the moment).

so technically a 6'4 with, for example, 30 Jumping will out-perform a 6'0 with 60 Jumping?

Not to that extreme

But a 6'4 corner with 30 jumping would probably "jump higher" than a 5'11 guy with 35 jumping.

I don't think the discrepancy is that big. I'm not sure 4 inches equals a 30 SP difference. I don't really know what SP to assign per inch, or if that's even logical to do so. Plus, I might be completely off about height/weight doing anything very useful for CBs, but I'm assuming.

I'd be more confident with a 6'4" CB with 60 jumping winning a jumpball than a 6'0" 60 jumper winning it, and that's about all I know.

What about weight? Does it affect your jumping too?

Weight more affects your acceleration

no.. The guy with 35 jumping has a higher vertical but the 6'4 has the longer reach
