Mandich has the skinny on Dolphins draft thinking.........

One reason for that was because he was injured. There is a difference between 40 time and speed. Jerry Rice had speed, but not a great 40 time. All because a receiver has a great 40 time does not mean he is going to be a bust.

Nor does it mean they are a sure thing. Speed, while a great ability, needs to blend well with the WR's other abilities. If a guy runs a 4.2 40 but gets tripped up at the first bump, he's worthless.

Ya but if a guy runs a 4.2 and has great skills it does not mean he is going to be a bust and a guy with 4.5 speed should be drafted over him.

Absolutely not.. That's just common sense though. If a guy has good hands and has blazing speed, a team would be stupid to not at least consider taking him..
