I'm torn, but at the college level (even in the best of the best like the big ten) I think I want skill a litte more than speed if I can only pick one.

If I recall correctly, Chris Gamble didn't run blazing fast times at the combine or even the OSU work out, but on the field he played with an instinct (skill), especially on the def. side of the ball that made him look so much better than everyone else out there sometimes.

I know that's just one example, and the debates over straight line speed vs. "football" speed, or "quickness"/explosiveness can make my head spin (maybe Gamble has the quickness vs. straight line speed, who kows?). So for now I'll lean toward skill slightly...probaby change my mine in a few minutes.
