Here is the fourth of eight positional breakdowns of the Chicago Bears' offseason roster following the NFL draft.
Position: Wide receiver
Notable additions: Kevin White (first-round pick) and Eddie Royal
Notable subtractions: Brandon Marshall
Summary: Even without Marshall, the Bears have a strong group of wide receivers led by the 6-foot-3 Alshon Jeffery, who is entering the final year of his contract. Jeffery had a team-high 1,133 receiving yards in 2014 and now has 2,921 career receiving yards -- the second-most receiving yards ever by a Bears player in their first three NFL seasons. Jeffery is also fifth in the league in receiving touchdowns (17) since 2013. On the other side of the line, White, who also stands 6-foot-3, projects to be a superstar. The seventh overall pick in the draft, White caught 109 balls for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns last season at West Virginia. He also runs a 4.35 40-yard dash. White still needs to prove himself, but appears to be a younger version of Marshall on paper. More: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago-bea...ears-offseason-roster-breakdown-wide-receiver
