The Worst NFL Draft Pick Every Year Since 2000

2015: Kevin White, WR, Chicago Bears

Coming out of West Virginia, Kevin White checked all the boxes for a star wide receiver. Does he have the size? White is 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds of solid muscle. Does he have the speed? In pre-draft workouts White ran a blazing 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash, easily one of the fastest times at the combine that year. With measurables like that, there was no way a talent like White would fall out of the top 10. But fast forward three year, and White has played in only 5 games due to multiple season ending injuries.

It’s hard to label Kevin White a bust, because we’ve barely had the chance to see him play. But as the old saying goes, the best ability is availability. Players drafted after White; Rams Pro-Bowl running back Todd Gurley, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, Chiefs All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters, Giants All-Pro safety Landon Collins.

The White pick sucks big time, but at least he isnt setting back his franchise a good 7 years like Jameis Winston is. Cant really argue against this though

You had no way of knowing White wouldn't work out. Plus he's got one more shot to prove himself. Your shtick has past it's expiration date. No one is "buying it" anymore.

Wrong answer. The correct answer is "Ryan Pace is a fucking idiot".

He's no more a bust than Columbo was at that point of their careers and White's prognosis is much better. Folks should wait until the there's an ending to the story.

Columbo was a bust. He had a few good years at the end in dallas but never lived up to his draft selection. I think a better comparison is dan bazuin.

Lol at mentioning Chief’s All Pro Marcus Peters... more like LA Rams Marcus Peters. You know, because he Chiefs gave up on him already.

I am so happy to read that list, and feel comfortable that White is no where near as big a bust as some of those guys.

White only got hurt, but the drive to be a success is still there. He works very hard to get on the field, just cant stay on it. Guys like Russell sign their first big contract and stop putting the work in.

Most interesting name on that list is probably Patrick Mahommes.

88 starts between 2006 and 2011 and with 4 playoff runs.
You are either insane or still just dicking around a competitor's board.

He was serviceable player but still not worth a 1st round pick If kevin white ends up being healthy and just another guy he is still a bust.
