I have an O-Linemen with 16 strength maxed out.

Is that too low a final strength value for a linemen?

Should I switch him to Tight End if he's can attain decent speed? Other options?

you could try to see if his speed will go up to 15~16 and turn him into a DE or a tackle. TE isn't a bad idea either

True, if he has a low tackle skill he won't be able to become a DE imediatly, but unlike Speed and strength, rasing a players tackle skill is just a matter of time

It will only depend on how soon he will the player on his starting squad

He has decent blocking (high 6), okay catching & tackling (mid 4's).

You seem to have high standards for your lineman To me it only about strength. I would be very happy with a 16 strength OL as long as I worked his blocking/agility up depending on where I was going to play him on the line.

Also, my thought is there are diminishing returns as you get about 15 in a skill. What is the true game difference between 15 and 20? These are just thoughts...what do others think?
