So why in the **** did he drop to the 4th round? Just a position switch as a senior? What was that, some red flag or something?

Wasnt his 40 time lower than the others who went before him in the draft? But, in reality, he's really fast.

If you are a 4.6 guy instead or 4.4 does it really make you as a football player less able to do the job?

From my final mock draft:

Um...yes.

Is that a serious question?

Think of it in terms of time/space. you're talking about throws that get by DBs hands by a couple of inches at least a couple of times/gm. If you're 2 tenths faster, you're absolutely able to get to that spot just a little bit quicker, especially on anything more than 15-20 yards downfield.

And if you can't cover 20 yards downfield, you can't play. Not anymore. And if 2 or 3 of those balls you could've defended at 4.4 go undefended at 4.6, that's easily enough to lose you a football game in a league driven by parity.

I mean sure, if you're smarter or quicker or stronger you can overcome being slower - but it's harder. Yes, being faster will absolutely make a CB better at his job, ceteris paribus.

Yes, serious question. I understand basic physics. The 4.4 player is going to get there faster than the 4.6 player.

In Baseball you fail 7/10 times your a star making $20 million a year. You fail 8/10 times your not even playing in the big leagues.

My question was does the 4.6 player even make it to the NFL?

It was a super deep draft at WR and other positions, so fortunately for the Chiefs, Sneed slipped to the 4th.
