Now I know you want LT to be the premier guy because of the blindside of most QBs. I know you want intelligent and more agile centers.
I know when running a zone blocking scheme you want smaller olinemen
When you have a running team you want huge guys 335 plus.

But is there anyone that can get really in depth on this stuff?

What is more important at guard. Speed and agility or size and strength.
At tackle you probably want someone who is highly agile and quick to deal with speed rushers but then why are most of them some of the heaviest linemen on their respective teams?
What is the primary difference between a RTs attributes and a LTs? or is it just a matter of talent? (wondering why some guys like Tait and Runyan are excellent LTs but are just straight RTs.)
 
Alot of this depends on the type of protection scheme you are using. RTs in general are bigger and stronger. Runyan is an RT, and Tait was an RT that was moved to LT when he left KC for Chicago.
