The Chicago Bears are moving quickly to get their picks in the 2015 NFL Draft under contract, reaching agreement on Wednesday with wide receiver Kevin White and defensive lineman Eddie Goldman.

All of the Bears’ draft selections from last week are now in the fold except center Hroniss Grasu, a third-round choice from Oregon.

White, chosen No. 7 overall in the first round out of West Virginia, and Goldman, a second-rounder from Florida State, agreed to four-year contracts. White also received a fifth-year option.

White is expected to fill the wide receiver spot vacated by Brandon Marshall, who was dealt to the New York Jets last year. The speedy 6-foot-3, 215-pound White is projected to start as a rookie opposite wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.

Goldman, a first-team All-American in 2014, most likely will play nose tackle in Chicago’s new 3-4 defense. The 6-4, 336-pounder’s strength is against the run.

The Bears previously signed fourth-round running back Jeremy Langford, fifth-round defensive back Adrian Amos and sixth-round guard Tayo Fabuluje.
