"Here’s a roundup of who all the experts like for the Bears with one week to go until the draft comes to Chicago:
Patrick Finley, Chicago Sun-Times: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
The team might prefer the Raiders draft White’s upside and leave them the more reliable Cooper — a move that would reinforce decades of Oakland draft decisions — and could even consider trading down to gather more assets.
Some fear White is a one-year wonder after he totaled 1,447 yards on 109 catches in his senior season. The year before, his first in Div. I-A after a JuCo stint, he had almost one-third the production, catching 35 passes for 507 yards.
Still, White is electric — he ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine — and could slide seamlessly into the hole left by Brandon Marshall.
Mark Potash, Chicago Sun-Times: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
The analysis of Cooper to the Bears remains the same as well: Besides athleticism and speed and good-enough size at 6-1, 211, he’s an expert route-runner — an NFL-ready quality particularly important with a finicky quarterback like Jay Cutler, who sometimes seems to tune out guys who don’t know their job. The only question is whether the Raiders take Cooper at No. 4. That would leave the Bears with West Virginia’s Kevin White, which might not be a little tougher decision for them, or not.
Mel Kiper, ESPN: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
White has the deep speed and size the Bears need in the passing game as they fill the void left by the departure of Brandon Marshall, and White feels like a pretty good get at this point. I do think he’s in play at both No. 3 and No. 4. I can see the Bears looking at a pass-rusher here, but it might be a bit too rich for Vic Beasley and Randy Gregory, and Shane Ray will go through an adjustment period here. White gives the Bears a much-needed threat in the passing game regardless of who plays QB, and the value is good here.
Todd McShay, ESPN: Leonard Williams, DE, USC
To be clear: Williams dropping to No. 7 here has nothing to do with my opinion of him as a player. He’s the No. 2 prospect on my board and I’ve had him ranked as one of the top players in this class since the preseason. But this scenario does show how he has the potential to drop a little bit if he gets out of the top two picks based on the needs of teams picking third through seventh. He wouldn’t fill a huge need for the Bears, but at this point he’s too good of a value for them to pass up, especially given how bad their defense has been the past two seasons. The Chicago Bears ranked 31st in the league in scoring defense? That’s just not right. Williams is an impact run-stopper and above-average interior pass-rusher who can play multiple roles in different schemes. If Williams isn’t available here, then WR Kevin White would be the pick.
Doug Farrar, Sports Illustrated: Leonard Williams, DE, USC
Some will tell you that Williams is the best player in this draft class, while others don’t see it. What the tape shows is a great two-gap end who can play all over the formation, and he’d be a great fit in the system run by new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio prefers linemen who can move all around and disrupt—that’s why the Bears signed former Ravens Swiss Army knife Pernell McPhee to a five-year, $39 million contract this offseason—and Williams fits that bill perfectly. He’s not quite as big as Justin Smith, who alternated between tackle and end in San Francisco’s base and situational fronts, but he’s already played everywhere from one-tech to end with impressive consistency.
Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
Dane Brugler, CBS Sports: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
This pick has to be defense, right? After the Brandon Marshall trade, wide receiver is now a possibility and with White still on the board, it’s a match that makes sense.
Josh Norris, Rotoworld: Arik Armstead, DL, Oregon
Yes, I’m crazy for projecting Armstead to be drafted ahead of the edge rushers. However, I could see teams ranking Armstead at the same level as Leonard Williams. Jay Ratliff, Ray McDonald and Jarvis Jenkins are all on one-year deals."
