NFL Draft 2015: Dorial Green-Beckham is the 'poster child for boom-or-bust'

ESPN's Mel Kiper kicked off the 2015 NFL Draft season with his 2015 NFL mock draft sending former Mizzou WR Dorial Green-Beckham to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs need a receiver and DGB is a talented receiver so that's where it makes sense.

As always though, there are more questions than answers. DGB is supremely talented and could absolutely help the Chiefs at a major position of need. He could be a game-changer. But he could also be a flop. He has not taken the usual route in college football and has major questions off the field that can't be ignored.

It's those other questions that had NFL Network's Mike Mayock to tell Peter King that DGB is a boom-or-bust prospect.

Then there's the "poster child for boom or bust-Dorial Green-Beckham," Mayock said. Green-Beckham played two seasons at Missouri, was arrested on marijuana charges twice at Missouri, was dismissed from the team in April 2014, transferred to Oklahoma, was not granted eligibility for the 2014 season, then declared for the draft last month. At 6-5 and 225 pounds, he can run a 4.4 40-yard dash, and some team just might risk a low first-round pick on him. "I watched every target to him in 2013, and he has no idea what he's doing, but he changes games," said Mayock.

Here's where I get hung up on this. 2013 first round pick Eric Fisher has been so-so and we have no idea what 2014 first round pick Dee Ford is after a season mostly on the bench. The Chiefs need to nail their first round pick this year. I don't believe they're a player like DGB away from winning a Super Bowl. What's more important than a specific position is that they get a good player who contributes. I'm not convinced DGB is that player. There's too much risk for me right now.
