It's all up to you.
Most people try to use their free-player on a high-cost low-entertainment position like WR, especially if it's gonna be a blocking WR for a rushing team or something.
Other people use their free-player on a QB or HB since they're also 300-Flex positions, though they tend to be more entertaining than WRs anyway. The downside is that they tend to be low-demand positions, and you can't use your free player slot on a low-demand position, so you have to time your creation date and time JUST right if you want a free QB or a free HB. It's doable, but it's a hassle.
Still other people spend their free player slot on a boring position like O-line, Punter, or Kicker. Kinda silly, I think, since they only cost 100 Flex, but I can see someone not wanting to spend ANY flex on a boring position.
It's all up to you though. If all you want to do is play free players and you feel like making a Strong Safety, make a Strong Safety. Nothing wrong with that.

If you have flex points to use, it makes most sense to create the most expensive dot that you want to build with your free player. So it all depends on which positions you want to build.
Personally, I wanted to build a HB, LB, LB, and an OT. So with my two free players I created the most expensive of the two and then made the other two using flex points since they were the cheaper ones.
As for which position will be useful, that really depends on if you line up a team in the offseason/now or if you're wanting to try and be a free agent on the market. Also consider which league and competition level you want to compete in. If you want to be in a competitive league on an active roster, try searching the TLFP forum for a Rookie team that is starting up and see what spots they have open, then pick from those options. If you want to test free agency, and don't care what team you start on, you can really get away with any position, you just might not end up on as good of a team.

Anything but QB, O-Line, and K/P, imo. Any other position can be enough fun to warrant the free player slot, imo.

I like the DE position personally though

i disagree, seems like a waste if you aren't making a 300 flex position. imo

It's all relative. If you aren't trying to cut into a flex 'bill', then you're just looking to make a dot that will yield the most fun.

I would build a fun position, but not the most popular.
DEs, DTs, LBs, TEs, FB,CBs and safeties would probaly find a good spot on a team faster than a HB, or QB..

my two are a QB and WR fwiw. I make a lot of dots so I was going to have those anyway.

keep in mind that if you want a QB (and sometimes HB) you have to do it at just the right time since you can't use the free player on "low demand" positions.

^^^ this. No sense in building a dot you're not going to have fun with. But it's also smart to get the best bang for your buck. Keep in mind that the overall cost isn't just the initial price of your DOT, but all the boosts you plan on for his entire career. That adds up.
