I just tried changing 50 to 15 and guess what? The CPUs WR with 86 speed beats my CB (98 OVR 99-man coverage) with 94 speed (both have same acceleration). OK, so what happened? What was the CB doing that allowed the pass? The CB stood there a few yards away while the ball was floating to the WR, didn't make any attempt to defend against the pass. Jump? No. Raise a hand? No. He simply stood there watching the ball go into the WR's hands and tackled him. Also worth noting is they both stood there waiting for the ball. CB's Catch rating is 82, Jump 99, OVR 98--the highest rated CB in the NFL.
