Hey y'all ! I'd like to know if a FS with strength around 65 and jumping around 48 would be better than 48 strength and 65 jumping ?

65 str and 48 jump I would say but then I'm used to SS and not FS, where some things are different. The 65 str will allow you to make tackles on heavy offensive dots alot easier and the 48 will still allow you to defend passes and diving tackles resonably well.

My 2 cents.

IMO, tackling to 60 is more important than high strength- enabling the use of David vs. Goliath VA to use against heavier players. Ignore this if your FS is built as a heavier player.

Not talking about tackling here, I know I want it around 65. Just talking about strength and jumping

Extra strength would be more helpful in the long run. More chances to FFum, knock loose, tackle players.
Jumping must go to 48 though, that's like the accepted minimum.

a FS really should have 61 jumping at least. Any dot at the position needs to be respectable at pass defense. Ideally both of them will be at 61+ by the end of the build.

2nd cap jumping is the minimum for all DB's.

disagree.. think jumping is a little bit overrated. I'd rather have more tackling/strength.

Well, for safeties I can see your point, but not for CBs. Winning the deflect rolls are critical for CBs in man coverage and jumping helps with that tremendously.

Seasons ago I've read that Jumping increases the radius of tackling, is it true ?

Seems like it would. Also helps with your diving tackle roll too.
