I suppose it's nice to know how fast a left tackle can run 40 yards in a straight line, but let's be realistic. When was the last time we had to actually watch a 350 pound grown man who can lift cars above their heads run 40 yards anywhere ? 
I suspect the combine is more about marketing the league to fans than actually evaluating real football talent.. Then again ,whaddoiknow? 

It’s not the whole 40 that matters to the big uglies, it’s the 10 yard split. Although the 40 gets the most fan and media attention, the combine is extremely useful to teams to do interviews, get medical checked and to get true measurements.
