10 worst Chicago Bears draft picks of Ryan Pace era
1. Chicago Bears worst pick under Ryan Pace: Kevin White, 7th overall
Yes, the argument has been played out. Is Kevin White really a bust if injuries crushed his chances? He is still in the NFL today, showing that he at least had upside. Still, when you get what Ryan Pace got from Kevin White, investing the seventh overall pick in him, that is why he is out of a job.
You can survive mistakes, but when you miss on the top ten picks, they add up and put huge holes in the roster. The Bears have been piecing together the wide receiver room since.
If the team had taken White over Amari Cooper, there would have been no justification. Fortunately for the Bears and this pick, the first round featured a few land mines, and Devante Parker and Nelson Agholor were the next two wide-outs taken.

Still, Kevin White has six career starts and 23 games played. Agholor is not a great pick, but is miles over White, and what he provided. No first-rounder that year produced less in his career, per pro football reference. Even Stephone Anthony, and Kevin Johnson brought more to the table. That is what is going to make Kevin White the first, and worst pick for Ryan Pace.
