Faster guys seem to get a better rating at tackle

No...they're roughly the same speed and quickness-wise irl. The only difference is that Tackles tend to be taller.

If you toggle between Guards and Tackles, you can see the 40-time (speed) and the shuttle/cones (quickness) are roughly the same if you average it out.

The sample size might be a little low since I'm only looking at one year, but I'm pretty sure it's fairly representative of what you'd normally find.
