Williams is plenty fast,it's just that it's straightline speed and he's a long strider.If you get the ball to Roy in stride he can move pretty good.Something else to consider,getting deep has alot to do with technique,it's not entirely about pure speed although it helps.Austin is basically the same type of player that Williams is,he may be slightly faster.
Crayton is better suited playing in the slot,he's more quick than fast.Hurd is a possession type receiver who lacks a big frame.Ogletree is an unknown,potential is just that unless/until you produce.
Witten is the best all around tight end in the league,but he cannot run with a pass catching tight end like a Gates or Winslow Jr./Vernon Davis.Bennett has more speed but needs to shut down MartyBTV until he learns the playbook or whatever is holding him back.
Barber is a pounder who can soften up a defense and he plays with emotion.Felix is not the fastest guy out there,he just can make moves that most backs can't.Felix has something you can't teach,a feel for the game if you will.Choice is a good role player,he will do whatever you ask of him.
Seems to me that they have enough pieces to compete.The coaching staff just needs to put the players in a better situation to succeed by adjusting some of the play calls.The players just need to execute the game plan,quit having stupid penalties that negate positive plays.If this team can do these two things this offense will start to click,they have the pieces.
If you want to talk about a team with no team speed,go back and look at this team when Billy Davis was trying to be a starting receiver.
