Kevin White, West Virginia WR, 1st round, 7th Overall

Grade: Incomplete

This is a tough one to grade. If you did give it a letter grade, you would have to give it an F, but it’s impossible to grade White based on five career games in three seasons. In five of those games, two of them he suffered season-ending injuries.

With White’s bizarre injury situation, it’s hard to ever imagine that he will bounce back and turn into a viable NFL receiver. The Bears control him for one more season, so they may give White one more shot next season, but White’s Bears’ career will almost certainly end before or after the 2018 season.

Pace’s first ever draft selection will be known perhaps as the most injury-prone player in the history of the NFL. He’s tough to grade with the lack of playing time, so to be fair to Pace, White gets an incomplete.
