Whitehair was a draft steal.

The Chicago Bears have a top 15 rookie
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper recently dropped his latest rookie big board, where he ranks all the 2016 rookies using these parameters;
This is a measure for all games this season, not just last week.
Total snap count matters. Staying on the field is a measure of value.
Positional value matters, but overall performance and impact on the team matter more.
Relative value matters. I ask: Would this player be a starter on most teams or on a good team?
Since his list is behind a paywall, we won't highlight the entire thing, but we will tell you that he has Whitehair at #13.
“When I scouted Whitehair before the draft, I thought he would need to move away from tackle and play guard or center in the NFL. I thought he could be an immediate starter on the interior. Now, he has thrived in the middle of the Bears' offensive line after they initially slated him at guard, then moved him over after signing Josh Sitton. Chicago picked up a guy in the second round who can start for many years.”
