what is OBJ's 40 time? serious q. if he is a4.3, he could go end of the 1st or 2nd round. if he is 4.4 no way



Very few 4.3 40's at WR get drafted in the first round. Mid-low 4.4s at WR with good size, mechanics, and hands will get you drafted in the 1st. Examples from recent draft..

DeAndre Hopkins 6'1 214 lbs ran a 4.57 (1st round)
Justin Blackmon 6'1 210 lbs ran a 4.46 (1st round)
Michael Floyd 6'3 220 lbs ran a 4.47 (1st round)
Kendall Wright 5'10 196 lbs ran a 4.61 (1st round)
A.J Jenkins 6'0 190 lbs ran a 4.39 (1st round)

Austin was a 4.3 that got drafted in the first round and deservedly because he is a game changer. Beckham is probably more 4.4. And the truth about Beckham is he is a game changer with the ball in his hands, also. He just needed the ball thrown to him on a regular basis to get his pass catching abilty up to par and he was not getting that at LSU until now and I hope it continues. This guy is as elusive as anyone and is displaying the major confidence this year that goes along with getting the ball regularly now. If any LSU fans can't see that they are damn idiots.
