Football is all about Building a Team, most the time Teams look for players at Certain Position more so than other positions. If you were Building a Football Team how would you rank the Most Important Positions?

1. QB
2. DE (Pass Rusher)
3. LT
4. DT (3 Tech)
5. WR
6. CB
7. C

Imo

#1. QB
(#2. Head Coach #3. GM....okay these don't actually count)
#2. 3 down Edge rusher that can drop back into coverage if needed
#3. Left Tackle

The rest is kind of scheme specific (generally I would have shutdown CB at 4 and WR at 5) and based on how many other players of their caliber are in the market at any given time. Obviously the trench players are super important on both sides but there is a little bit of relativity based on availability.

But it seems like CB is the hardest to find...

DT is not more important than CB. Not even close

One comment on yours since you specified 43 DEF...shouldn't MLB be a little higher maybe with your scheme? That's a lot of ground to cover.

2. LT

4. DT
5. CB1
6. ILB
7. CB2

Yeah, we're actually pretty similar...I only listed top 10. You have C in there and I don't in the top. Even though I have one #2, I really think LT is a little over rated as a singular position...Imo, OL is about 5 guys working in unison...if they have average skills but are smart, decent size/strength, and can move, you can do okay.

Having a stud at LT (CLE) or any OL position and nothing around him your OL is still going to suck most likely.

That's very true as well...PIT has a long tenure of great players at the C position...hell C might be more important than LT.

Not even remotely close. The early 1st round picks are LT and Centers RARELY get drafted even in the late 1st. Center is probably the least important position in NFL
