Speed is NOT that important. As long as you get around the blocker(agility + strenght) you don't have to be that fast, as the QB isn't very far from you.

If you're talking about a DT then it's not completely false that it's NOT important. Speed alone won't get you tackles if that's what you are saying.
Strength + Speed + Agility = Sacks and Tackles
Strength + Speed + Agility + Vision = Tackles
This is why I think Speed is important:

This is why I think Vision is important (although not a major attribute):

It's not about the level of the OL right now. We are talking about AFTER you pass the OL. If we are lucky we get Sacks where it's because of Agility if the QB doesn't run. But once the QB runs, you're there trying to chase him and that's when Speed kicks in.
My 2 cents. Might be worth more than that though

for a balance or bull guy, spd is not important but for a for spd/agi rusher you need lots of it

Speed is easily the most important attribute for some DE builds.

I have had success with balanced build, speed soft capped, STR + AGI soft capped and all equipment in STR + AGI.

Agility gets you around a blocker and to top speed quicker. Strength just goes through the blocker. it is better to specialize in one or the other, LDE should lean towards a balance/str build simply because they have so many more runs head their way.
Once again, acceleration to your top speed is more important than the top speed it self, simply because you are so close. Speed is nothing without agility to a De, and the same can be said about agility without speed.
