Chicago Bears draft prospects: Wide receivers

Laquon Treadwell (6-foot-2, 230 pounds) — Ole Miss

Treadwell is the all-around receiver teams want. He is a big receiver, athletic and smart. He is also a very good blocker. He can pancake a defender like any offensive lineman could.

Treadwell does not hesitate in his route-running, and is able to locate the ball quickly. His strength comes in after the catch — it is difficult to get him down right away, and he can shed would-be tacklers and gain yards after catch. That helps him, as he does not possess great speed.

Treadwell was born to be a professional football player. He enjoys the spotlight and is highly motivated. He is goal-oriented and shows great leadership skills.

Treadwell is also tough-minded. He suffered a bad leg injury in 2014 that cut his season short, but came back in 2015 to make 82 catches for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns. That injury helped make Treadwell become mature past his age.

Treadwell will need to polish his route-running. He was not asked to run full routes at Ole Miss, so perhaps he is better than he looks on film. The offseason combines and pro days will determine that. He will also need to work on his hand usage. As aggressive as he is, he can be called for offensive interference.

Treadwell will be a number one receiver in the pros. He has the skill set, athletic ability and the mental make-up to be a multiple Pro Bowl player.  I do not think he will have any lingering effects from his leg injury, but teams will look at his medical report.

If the Chicago Bears do decide to let Jeffery walk, Treadwell is definitely a receiver who can step right in and perform.
