After a few attempts at trying to make a s* DT do something better than a regular DT, I may have stumbled into something
What I tried this time was to simulate a regular DT build, and then "add" something to it with the extra points a s* gets...
(not an exact science obviously)
The first thing I tried to add was pass deflections--Vertical and PD (with a healthy dose of Awareness which everyone should have anyway)
From a Player standpoint, it looks viable. I scored my first ever league leader, and made my first all star game. Personally, that makes me want to continue with a DT instead of just writing it off as a necessary evil for the team, and/or a do-nothing bot(DNB?).
From a Team standpoint, I can't say that 1 DT getting about 1 PD per game on average is worth the salary hit. It might make for an interesting team concept tho--maybe when used en masse on a d-line, or maybe even just the DTs
With the current investment (Deflections and Vertical taken up to the 600+ SP range each @J15) there's still room to grow in these skills, which could lead to a better average than 1 PD per game. I'm not convinced that the extra investment would get me up to 2 PDs per game, and even if it did, would that really be a worth while investment for the team...
My current plan is to live with what I've got for PDs, and start to add something else to this average DT.
