If he is a big hitter with some speed I like it. 

Another reason I think he slides to round 3

He's a 4.55 kid, tops 4.46. But most have him a 4.5 guy

That's fast enough if he has good instincts. That's the difference between track fast and game fast. The guy with good instincts may not be as "fast" but he finds a way to be where he needs to be on game day to make the play because he has a head start on the "fast" guy. Richard Sherman was a 4.56 guy. Kam Chancellor barely broke 4.7. Josh Norman ran a 4.66. Ed Reed ran 4.57 and was the premier safety in the league for a long time.

And you saw all where Norman and Sherman were drafted. Chancellor was a monster, and Reed was how long ago.

 

Not saying that he can't be a impact player.  He can be. And I really want him as he would be a day 1 starter.

Just saying a 4.55 Safety is most likely going to slide maybe to round 3 especially in a deep safety class

Jamal Adams ran a 4.56 at the combine last year and he was the 6th overall pick. Malik Hooker never ran a 40 and he was the 15th pick. Marcus Williams didn't run a 40 and was drafted in the 2nd. Justin Evans ran a 4.57 and 4.64 and was drafted in the 2nd. Karl Joseph was the only safety taken in the 1st in 2016 and he never ran a 40. Damarious Randall was the only safety taken in the 1st in 2015 and he didn't run either.

4.5s don't scare NFL teams off of a safety. It's not a bad time for the position.

Low 4.5 or high 4.4 is great for a safety..
