I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — Kevin White was the best wide receiver taken in the 2015 NFL Draft. I’m well aware that Bama’s Amari Cooper was picked three spots before him, but not because he’s a better receiver. The Raiders gave Cooper the nod because he was more polished coming out of college. He was the safer bet when it came to making an impact right away.
With that said — thank you, Reggie McKenzie, for leaving the best wide receiver on the table.
I don’t know about you, but when I realized that Kevin White dropped to the Bears’ 7th-overall pick, I couldn’t help but dance out of excitement.
