I really couldn't let this go...as much as I would not have selected Watt at #11, you can't say that he's 'slow' and then turn around and say we need some 'speed' with Akeem Ayers!

Watt is 6'5" 290lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and a 6.88 -Cone.
Ayers is 6'3" 254lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and did not register one of the fastest times in the Cone so it wasn't reported.

The 2 guys I'd like at OLB, Brooks Reed was clocked at 7.11 and Justin Houston turned in a 6.95 in their 3-Cone drill, so Watt did better than those guys in terms of quickness. Even the much-heralded Von Miller scored a 6.7 at the much lighter weight of 246lbs. So, Watt is NOT slow.
