how fast does an mlb need to be? can he get by with 80 speed?

what would you guys prefer?

something like.....

78str/75tak/78vis/82spd/80agi

or maybe 78str/75tak/70vis 90 speed?

maybe less strength more tackle like 70/83/78 82/80

strength isn't as useful as tackling

That's such a cookie cutter build. Anyways you don't need as much speed as you think. Agility really helps more than people realize. I know a LB who was playing in USA Pro for 3 or 4 years with around 90 speed, and he never got burned because he had the agility to keep up. He was playing OLB though. With MLB I'm sure you could get away with 90 speed at the highest levels.

So 70 str/95 speed/90 agility/ 75 tack/ 70 vision should be pretty good.

Nop

80 str/tak. You can sacrifice some speed for that.

Strength is useful so you don't get pancaked, and so you can break blocks faster.

Bare minimum of 95 speed or he's a one trick pony, imo.

I don't see why 95 speed is needed to cover middle runs and off-tackle plays. I decent DC is going to keep him off critical pass defense most of the time, no?

No, a decent DC is going to have a 95-100 speed MLB that can contribute to both the run and pass defense.

But not do either particularly well compared to a specialist.
