Quote:We sometimes hear it said that our defense "needs to get faster".


So, which draft picks would make us faster?

 

Okay Al Davis, speed isn't the only thing...  but the fastest in the draft is   CB Jonathan Jones, Auburn whom ran a 4.29 in 40 tied for 2nd is


CB William Jackson III, Houston 4.32 in 40

CB Anthony Brown, Purdue 4.32 in 40

-----------------------------------------

The fastest in the defensive player rated in the top 15 is

CB Eli Apple, Ohio State 4.34 in Forty Yard Dash, 2.59 20 yard dash

He has visited Jaguars whom have shown interest.  He is considered by many to be the 2nd best corner in the draft a very physical Corner whom needs to work on awareness.  Probably the most underrated player in the draft's top 20.

Many teams have requested a visit from him as they try to figure out if he should go in the top 15 or not.

CBS has him going 16th overall and 2nd only to Vernon Hargreaves III in best corners in the draft.

-----------------------------------------

Of course that is regarding simply the 40 yard dash other things to look at...

 

*FS Jalen Ramsey 4.37 (Walter football says 4.41) in Forty Yard Dash, 6.94 sec in Cone

Considered in the top 3 of best athletes in the draft overall some say the best, but no question the best FS in the draft.

 

 

Vernon Hargreaves III ran a 4.5 in the 40 yard dash many rate him as the best corner in the draft.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Joey Bosa had a slower 40 yard dash than many had thought he would based on film from college with a 4.86, but he did run

a 6.89 sec in the cone drill, and 4.21 in the shuttle.
