Top Ten 40 Times by Position for 2009 Draft

[Hammock Parties]

http://profootball.scout.com/2/854539.html Speed is the most important physical quality on the football field. You can’t teach it, but at some areas of play (OL, QB, DT) it is of lesser importance. Case in point: Tom Marino’s top individual player at each of these positions were nowhere to be found in the top ten speed groupings.

I am so glad we didn't wait until this draft to pick up CB's.

****, I couldn't even read this article after the first sentence.

Saying that speed is the single-most important asset in football and then going on to talk about 40-times, in shorts, on a pristine field, indoors, is a ****ing oxymoron.

So there is Curry listed in the OLB position again.

I am not trying to be a smart ass here, I just flat have not seen this dude play. Is he an OLB like all the pundits list him as, or a MLB where most here seem to be projecting him? I am smart enough to realize he could probably play both.

He's a 4-3 outside LB, strong side or an ILB.

So according to Gunther he's the equivalent to Kendrell Bell.

Most teams run the 4-3, and Curry is a 4-3 OLB... thats also what he was in college... I don't think I've ever seen a draft site listing players by their 3-4 position.

I'm a huge fan of Chris Clemons and Jared Cook, 2 of my favorite prospects.
