The Chicago Bears addressed a major need at wide receiver as they used their seventh-overall pick on West Virginia speedster Kevin White.

“Kevin White said he thought he might end up with the Chicago Bears, and he was right. White is lightning fast and has a skill that’s drawn comparisons to Julio Jones. Chicago needed to add a weapon opposite Alshon Jeffery after trading Brandon Marshall to the Jets. White gives Jay Cutler and the Bears offense another weapon, but there will still be questions about whether or not the offensive line can give them time to all work. White will give the Bears offense versatility as he has the speed and power to make plays around the line of scrimmage or deep down field.”- Pat Donovan

“Instead of trading away Jay Cutler, the Bears gave him one of the most dangerous weapons in this year’s draft. Chicago selected Kevin White with the No. 7 overall pick, pairing him with Alshon Jeffery to give Cutler a couple of top-tier options. White has blazing speed and the toughness to secure contested passes. He is also an instant favorite of Chicago sports fans, who erupted with applause when his name was called and he walked to the stage at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University.”- Michael Lombardo
