Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday Buffalobills.com will be profiling some of the top talent in the 2009 draft class to give you a little more insight on some of the better prospects available this spring. They will coincide positionally with all of the draft preview features that run in the media lounge on Buffalobills.com where you can see some of the top prospects in action.
At the so called skill positions like cornerback and wide receiver, the elite speed prospects often get all the hype. NFL scouts maintain that it’s game tape that carries the most weight, but even they can get enamored with sub 4.3 40-times. North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks might be the best example in this year’s class for why talent evaluators should pay more attention to the video and less to their stopwatches.
