And depending upon your setting to "Emphasize Exact Position Match" for the defense REX will just place them according to their roster position. At least that's what I found messing around with mine. You also only have one guy who REX identifies as fit for 1-tech so REX might have a harder time filling the spots.
I'd love to discuss this further on our next live chat. JJ and I discussed this previously (JJ: Mine was set to 1 for both last year - lol) and I was fiddling around with it this week to see what the different settings did and how Rex would arrange my depth chart.
I have a full 70-man roster so there are a lot of options and I Rex'd the depth chart using every setting. I would also deactivate the Starters to make itmore difficult for Rex to find the best player.
I found that a setting of 1 on offense would move people around quite a bit, but settings 2-8 all Rex'd the same. When I analyzed the results it looks like Rex put guys in their optimal spots on the 1 setting and went straight off of their designated position in 2-8 (I stopped testing before I did 9 because of the repeatable results of the previous 8 settings).
In setting 1, Rex placed guys at positions I would place them at given their attributes. For example, a SE I would place at the Z is only placed at Z by Rex at the 1 setting but at X for all other settings. I have a LG and RG that I should probably change their positions because they are backward, but the pass blocking RG only gets placed correctly using 1 and is placed at RG at all other settings. The same went for my run blocking LG.
Defense had more variance and was a mixed bag of what I would do vs. not, but to be fair I have a lot of pass rush options so the variety was harder to track/diagnose. Like the offense though, the 1 setting appeared to be more about optimizing sklll and ignoring position labels.
The real question is how this setting impacts substitutions during a game, as I don't need Rex to set my depth chart. My concern is what Rex does during the game that I have no control over.

In that last update Jim did fix the weight chart in the defensive philosophy section so it shows correctly for the DTs.
You are right. When Ush mentioned it was backward, I looked at what I had copied previously from the help file and it was backward. When you posted this I checked the current help file and it now shows:
43 Under:
Right Tackle: 306
Left Tackle: 315
The LDT in the Under should be your 1t who should be heavier than the 3t.
43 Over:
Right Tackle: 316
Left Tackle: 309
The LDT in the Over should be your 3t who should be lighter than the 1t.
