As for defense, is there a way to factor in the fact that some CBs are thrown at very little because their coverage is so good? Or is it better to skew towards CBs who are going to produce real stats, like tackles and INTs?

If you plan to run a lot, you want OL that are generally considered to be good run blockers. If you plan to pass a lot, you want good pass blockers. If you plan a balanced attack, you want OL that does a reasonable job at both. Focus on individual linemen rather than the team's running ability.
I'm certainly not going to use an irrelevant stat like tackles to judge defensive backs. A shutdown corner who doesn't get thrown at much will be a great guy to have.
People will be better off if they don't worry about the scoring and just draft good football players.
