in what order of importance would you rate speed agility and strength? or are there other attributes that are also important?

also how much should I invest in shed block

Depends on matchup imo.
If HB is blocking you on the weak side, maybe speed>strength>agility
If FB is blocking you, and is good at it, agility>strength>speed
If LOT is blocking you, agility>strength>speed + probably kiss your ass goodbye.
Try to play the right side if you want to blitz or having an intensely strong, pulling D-line.
If a TE is blocking you, strength>agility>speed. Depends on his build.

Can't evidence any of this aside from speculation on typical builds.

As a general build path I'd probably say speed>agility>strength and load up on shed block/break block/etc AEQ, SAs, VAs, everything.
Some would probably say agi>speed no matter what. I wouldn't agree though.

Agi>Speed is just dumb

if a LB hits a block besides maybe a HB he won't get the sack (unless you have CBs with great builds outleveling the WRs by around 10) so Speed > agility hope he gets in there free and sacks him

DPC helps

take agility up first anyway for natural gains

Don't completely neglect your blocking stat, either.

so here's what I'm looking at then

all equipment in speed

agility 2nd cap
speed 2nd cap
strength 1st cap
agility 3rd cap

and I'll train vision

and then I'll see from there
