bush and bennet prove that speed alone don't translate, though it does look like he has other skill, it's not like we'll be getting him unless he gets hurt or starts sucking.

Speed alone does not translate by itself. But watching Austin, he doesn't have only speed, he runes routes pretty well, solid hands, and has open field moves. Could be a great player similar to the role that Harvin, Sproles, or Cobb do for their team.
Austin may not go 1st round because of doubts of his skills translating, his value as a slot receiver and his size. Jackson, Sproles and Cobb were are drafted outside the 1st round and have similar skill sets to Austin.
