A look at stat priorities for Defensive Linemen.

I had been waiting for this before commenting. Very well done on the data points and research. I like your suggestion to give Balanced 70 speed, which still gives Interior Rusher a higher agility. This is not a change I would push on my own, but I like the compromise and I am in favor of it if @youngcricket likes it as well.

Another solution would be to instead of giving balanced archetype 5 more speed, raise their max strength by 5.

This would make nose tackle still the strongest.

Run stuffer and Balanced would be very similar. Same Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Speed.

The only differences is run stuffer would have 10 more tackling (80 vs 70) compared to balanced 5 more hands (60 vs 55).

Obviously run stuffer is stronger in this situation, but overall it normalizes balanced archetype to be better at tackling then interior rushers, better at tackle for losses than nose tacklers and tied for worst at forced fumble and sacks. However those two categories are pretty close and balanced so it's not a huge deal.

Here are the rankings if balanced strength is increased by 5:
