If they choose OL or DL, they had interest in that position despite the lack of stats and interaction as a player. If you allow this, then you get people questioning why they can't do a WR/CB combo or a RB & LB. One of the good things about these positions is that they are a premium position in most drafts. Just being an above average earner as a DL or OL makes you a draft priority for most teams. Changing this would make more people want to play those positions, ruining their biggest positive aspect.
my answer to those people would be that we get consistently more creates for any of those 4 positions than we do for dline and oline combined and its not very close
also, dline when chosen is probably the position that people position change out of the most, other than perhaps qb for other reasons
and finally, if we do successfully get more people to play the positions using this idea, i think it would actually increase their draft stock, rather than decrease it....that's one valuable ass person to draft if you're getting both to build up
