Everyone is expected to keep to these rules , I’m putting this up now so you can draft accordingly.
Players are expected to make the required weights at their chosen position should you want to convert to a different position, however if a player is within 5lbs of minimum weight , this will get a pass .

OFFENSE
RB1, RB2, RB3
FB1
TE1, TE2
RBs, TEs, FBs may also play at WR position.
WR may NOT play at RB unless they are listed as RB4+. If a WR played at RB gets more carries than RB3 this will draw a flag .

Every team must carry these players on their 53 man roster .

DEFENSE
RDE1/LDE1, RDE2/LDE2
DT1, DT2
LB1, LB2, LB3 (MLB, WLB OR SLB)
Secondary, CB, SS and FS interchangeable.

Kicker and punter are 100% mandatory and need to be active and in the depth chart , no exceptions.

Please do not put secondary players in at DE/DT/LB

Will there be a rookie grace period or no?

And will the weight limit be as strict with OL? A lot of TEs even don't ever make weight for non C ol and as far as I know the body weight loss of strength has more effect than any speed boost at ol.

That’s a good point , especially in an inaugural league year .
I’m (personally) not that bothered by a position change if it’s permanent, for skill position groups.
As far as TEs on the OL, fill yer boots . I don’t think anyone has ever had a problem with that .

Real conversion should be okay. The converted player will come near or even on the required weight after some time.

I've never been a fan of restrictions imposed on a league by GM's. Positional mismatches are there for everyone to use.....just like in real life Football, so IMO, it's very much widely known in the game at this stage, whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander etc...

That said, I'm happy to follow these positional sanctions. However......I'm not overly sure how you are going to govern this? What would happen if an owner changed the player position of WR to RB and started him at RB, and then back to WR, for a few games during the season? If this should happen, what would be the expected punishment/restrictions that could be handed down?

Just my 2 cents.

I hear you and that would be unfortunate, I think most people so far know who everyone is and are stand up players .
Should this be a thing , then this person probably isn’t someone that I would want in the league anyway .
That said if they publicly came out and said reasons for change then that’s another thing.

I'm also against too many rules, but I think these rules are a decent balance.

I'd much rather have this than face teams with no HB's, FB's or TE's, and 13 WR's. That's NOT a normal occurence in football... that's someone using coding glitches to get an advantage. Having multiple teams doing it, just because it works and tolerated, means the game is not really football any more.

Just my opinion though.

This 100%
