I thought this was going to be a real league, not another test league.
It's better than the under 200 pound DEs that we had at the start of 75. To be honest, these guys are doing better than most of the DL bench warmers in year-one of an allocation league where most of the late round guys are slow and weak with no technique:

Why expirement something that doesn't make any sense? If it proves to be somewhat successful i highly doubt you ever use it or anyone else for that matter.
But that's where you're wrong. Sure, it doesn't make sense to sign a bunch of fast OL with bad blocking skills and play them on a DL in a developed league, but it makes perfect sense in an allocation league:
1) They are equal weight as OL, so they are not going to get blown backwards like underweight DL.
2) They have equal SP and ST to a lot of OL, so they can compete in pushing games with the OL.
3) In year one, a lot of OL don't have good blocking skills, so their low pass rush and run defense skills don't hurt them that badly.
4) Most importantly, there are not enough decent DL anyway in year one.
