STEAL

57. <p>This is one of the best steals of the draft. I don’t care that Kevin White is a Top 10 pick. He should have gone higher.</p> <p>White’s upside is absolutely incredible, to the point that we could be talking Dez Bryant caliber in a few years. This guy has a lot more going for him than Amari Cooper, who is sure to work out but is just a safe pick.</p> <p>In White, you have a potential superstar. Falling to Chicago is a Godsend into Jay Cutler’s lap. For years, he has tried to make it work with Brandon Marshall. Well, here is the first bold prediction of the draft: White and Cutler will have better chemistry, a better relationship, put up better numbers, and help their team win more games than Marshall and Cutler ever did.</p> <p>At West Virginia, White dealt with quarterback injuries and lots of bad players at the position, but at 6’3″ 215 pounds he had 109 receptions for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns.</p> <p>And he carried the Mountaineers to huge wins with more than 200 receiving yards in a road win against Maryland and 132 receiving yards and two touchdowns in an upset win over Baylor. This guy is can’t-miss and has superstar written all over him.</p>. WR (West Virginia Mountaineers. Round 1, Pick 7 (Chicago Bears). Kevin White. 3. player
