I do not think these matter when concerning the player's attributes, at least not the 40 time.

I scouted a player with a 4.24 40 time, thinking his speed would be in the super high 90s, however his speed revealed was 92. I was surprised bc i at least thought the 40 times were usually pretty accurate.

I then created 4 prospects: 1 with 99 speed, 1 with 98 speed, 1 with 97 speed and 1 with 90. Their 40 times were 4.24, 4.24, 4.24, and 4.34 respectively. (I should have made all speeds in the 90s but it was tedious.) Either way i think this shows the 40 times can be off when predicting speed, which in real life can happen so its not unrealistic.
