I know we won't pick him, but here is the video of him from this year for those who were saying he was second round at best...
BTW, there is a couple of clips of him beating UM safety and prospect Kenny Phillips...

Great lookin' kid. He should be a very solid pro. Has played big in big environments, and has all the tools.
He would be a great pick at the bottom of the first if we traded down. However, I think he will be lower than our first, and higher than our second.

What about Iglesias? He is the guy that should be the big target this year.

I would really like him, Manningham, or guy from Indiana (i think?) at 28 if we can trade down.

I think I'm probably the only OU fan who doesn't think that Kelly deserves all the hype he's getting.
Early on in the year when our schedule was easy, Kelly was dominating like no ones business and I drank the koolaid and was happy with it. But as the year progressed, his deficiencies became more and more apparent to me.
He has adequate speed but seems to not have great quickness; most people realize that he's not going to just run by defenders in the NFL like he could in college. His size and ups are his greatest assets, and he adjusts really well to the ball (as evidenced by the numbers he was able to put up with Paul Thompson at QB). He's got great hands, but he doesn't secure the ball all that well--defenders in the NFL will take advantage of this and be able to force turnovers easily. Also, his YAC is not great--he doens't seem to have the instinct to really evade defenders.
As you can tell, my opinion of Kelly is that he's a good, solid player, but one that still has holes in his game. Maybe I'm just overly critical because I'm such an OU fan, but I think that what I've noticed while watching him the past 3 years is valid. He's definitely going to be able to play ball, but how much will he work on the things he doesn't do well at this point? He's still got some things to work on and get coached up on, and that's why I don't think he deserves all the hype he's getting.
I like him a lot, but I still think Limas Sweed is going to be the #1 WR taken when all is said and done.

Iglesias is the #1 but chaney seems to be the favorite to start opposite him

Nothing wrong with that, your just being a bit more objective. I dont know much about Kelly but he seems like he is pretty good. I think i like Sweed and Manningham more but im sure he will be ok. As for him burning Phillips you have to take that with a grain of salt. That Miami team was terrible on both sides of the ball for the most part as my cavaliers took an lethargic offense of their own and put up 40 in their own house.

he is going to be a great NFL player, it was painfully obvious that he was waiting to cash his NFL ticket about half-way through the year.
