Scouts Inc...

Overall Football Traits
Production 2 Iglesias caught 19 passes for a total of 290 yards and two touchdowns as a true freshman in 2005. He catches 41 passes for a total of 514 yards and two touchdowns in 2006. Iglesias led the Sooners in receptions (68) as well as receiving yards (907) and ranked third on the team in receiving touchdowns (5) in 2007. He appeared in all 14 games of the 2008 season catching 74 passes for a total of 1,150 yards and 10 touchdowns. Iglesias was also a productive kickoff return man the past three seasons (2006-'08).

Height-Weight-Speed 3 Adequate height, good bulk and adequate top-end speed.

Durability 1 Played in 54 games during four-year career at Oklahoma.

Character 2 Works hard and versatile. Tough and plays through pain.

Wide Receiver specific Traits
Separation Skills 2 Explosiveness is just adequate but a silky smooth route runner. Sets up breaks with head nods and quick double moves. Outstanding body control and sideline awareness. Stays active and does a good job of locating pockets in zone coverage. Played against a lot of zones and off-man coverage looks in college but showed can get a clean release working against press coverage in 2008 Texas game.

Ball Skills 3 Consistently catches the ball away from frame and doesn't have to break stride to bring it in. Good body control and can adjust to passes thrown outside frame. Biggest concern here is ball security. Lost two fumbles during 2007 regular season Missouri game.

Vertical Speed 4 Quicker than fast. Does not show a second gear when tracking the ball downfield and isn't going to be much of a vertical threat in the NFL.

Run After Catch 2 Fluid turning upfield and an effective open field runner with great vision. Shifty and frequently makes first defender miss. Isn't going to run over many defensive backs in the open field but runs hard, can step out would-be shoelace-tackles and can bounce of would-be arm tackles . Lacks breakaway speed but reaches top-end speed quickly.

Competitiveness and Toughness 2 Not afraid to go over the middle. Tough blocker that plays with an edge and won't hesitate to put unsuspecting defenders on their backs. (see second quarter of 2008 Texas game) Flashes a powerful punch and the ability to sustain blocks.

He's good. I was surprised with al the WRs that actually went in the third round but this is a good pick nonetheless.

I really like him, the more film I've watched of him, the more I like him. Seems to be very solid at everything. I've seen many knock him for his lack of speed but he seems to know how to get open, which imho is more important than top end speed, especially when you have Hester lining up on the outside.

Plus cbssportsline has him listed at a 4.44 40.

Cliff Levingston would've been relatively happy with him at 49, so getting him at 99 is just awesome. If there was any WR we could've taken outside of the top 7, it would be Iglesias. Woo hoo!

Love this pick I won't lie. I have a man crush on Mr. Iglesias for sure.

This guy has "the look" of a legitimate NFL wide receiver.

Like CL said, this would have been a solid pick at 49 in my mind, so the fact he fell 50 more spots and the Bears still got him is great

I'm all over this pick and the trade with Seattle.

I'm not really in a position to be commenting on draft picks, as I am relatively new to the game of American football, but I am happy with this pick. Everything I have read about him sounds good, and I'm not too worried about him not having top-end speed, considering that we have the likes of Hester and Davis on the roster.

My thoughts exactly. Very good pick.

I heard that on M&H this morning as well on the ride out to work. Very nice

Howling Mad · Post #17 » by **Howling Mad** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:25 pm

Yea I heard that too, it was literally less than 3 hours after the pick. Awesome.

Why you gotta hate Todd McShay ?

Best pick: CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt (Fourth round, No. 119)

Worst pick: WR Juaquin Iglesias, Oklahoma (Third round, No. 99 overall)

Bottom line: ``The Bears' biggest need was finding weapons for new QB Jay Cutler, and they failed to accomplish that goal. Iglesias is, at best, a possession No. 3 receiver and Johnny Knox will probably max out as a receiver in sub packages who would contribute on special teams. On the positive side, the Bears hit homers on DT Jarron Gilbert and Moore.''
