Minimum speed rating

Hi - not sure whether this is best served here or in the Help Forum.
Just wanted to sound people out about the minimum speed they'd keep a player with and the pay off between speed and other attributes.
Is it worth keeping a player with very low speed if his other position attributes are reasonable or would it be better to have a speedier player with lesser position attributes.
I appreciate it's a balancing act but just wondered what the general opinion is, is there a point where a player is just too slow to be effective ?

For DB WR LB TE RB QB : below 50 - out

My general minimums:
QB: 20
RB: 70
FB: None
TE: 50
WR: 40
LT/RT: 30
LG/C/RG: None
P/K: None
LDE/RDE: 50
DT: None
LB: 45
CB: 60
FS/SS: 50

I'll only keep players with speed this low if the rest of their important attributes are pretty good.

Not a guide to how fast you should have a player, but more a guide to how speed works:
