I shared a similar thought process earlier in my day as well. I now know though that MLBs don't need nearly as much speed and agility as say a ROLB. After seasons of playing this game, I have come to find that MLBs do benefit quite a bit from having a good deal of strength. For example, my team's level 61 LB that has 80+ strength who happened to win Defensive MVP in USA AA4 last season. Easily one of the best AA leagues in GLB, I will stick to my argument that MLBs need a good deal of strength.
Fair point, hard to argue with results like that, silly on my part to make such a sweeping generalization. Maybe in my 50's or 60's I'll come around to that mentality but for now I'm happy to keep investing in speed/agility.
