hopefully their forty yard dashes will help them fall to us in spots where we wouldn't have been able to get them before

the forty yard dash is a joke

would you rather have Jason Whitten or Vernon Davis as your TE?
 
Wouldn't a better comparison be Antonio Gates or Jason Witten? Vernon has only been in the league 2 years and broke his leg in his first one. Personally, I would take Antonio Gates over Witten.

Is that the same as who would you rather have throwing the ball, Tony Romo or Alex Smith?

if you judge a T by his 40 time, then you are a fool

Not by a 40 time...the 10 and 20 yds are far better to show what a Tackle can do...but when they run that 40...they break that 40 into different parts...so the 40 has it's purpose...and by the way...I'm not the fool.

A tackle that runs in the 5.50 time isn't quick enough no matter what you would wish...and he's no LT.

yea it is a 40 for an OL is stupid when are they going to be running 40 yards down the field and for a TE it make a Little more sence but EVERONE is going to be going faster when they are chasing someone or getting Chased by someone

I can't find his actual combine numbers, not sure if he actually participated, but I'm seeing between 4.4 and 4.5.

so lets get this straight

I am talking about the combine

I pick a guy that ran an incredible time at the combine

you pick a guy who never ran at the combine and say "wouldn't a better comparison be the guy who didn't run at the combine"

wow this place tires me out

I assumed you were picking 1 that was a more complete TE to one that was a vertical threat that lacked blocking. What's the use of comparing an established player in a very good offense to someone who is playing for a terrible offense who's 2 years in. So I thought picking someone who IS established and plays for a good offense that is a vertical threat is better than picking Davis.
 
The 40 yard dash is a joke. How often, on a football field does your tight end line up in a 3 point stance, in shorts and a t-shirt, and sprint 40 yds down the field. The only valuable piece of information that is obtained from the combine is the medical session.

I disagree. Jeff Otah ran a 5.56 (I believe) and I'm still certain he's one of the 3 best LT prospects in this draft.
 
He will run even slower in games when he has to step over his pancaked opponents. :)
