DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Breshad Perriman, Phillip Dorsett, Devin Smith and Dorial Green-Beckham were other receivers drafted in Round 1 or early in Round 2 who went on to underwhelm. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The Bears also couldn&#8217;t have predicted the injury issues that would plague the abbreviated career of seventh overall pick Kevin White. Still, he was a massive disappointment who dealt with multiple injuries, including a fractured fibula and a shoulder fracture. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The West Virginia product appeared in only 14 games across four seasons with the Bears and finished his Chicago tenure with a mere 285 receiving yards and not a single receiving touchdown. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">If the Bears were determined to get a receiver, they could have taken Kansas State&#8217;s Tyler Lockett. The third-round pick was still playing in 2025 and has amassed 8,885 yards and 62 touchdowns to date. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Original Pick: WR Kevin White at No. 7 overall (2015) New Pick: WR Tyler Lockett (No. 69 overall&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-589319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
