3. WR Dorial Green-Beckham, Oklahoma

Dorial Green-Beckham is a freak of nature kind of athlete. He is 6′ 6″ with an incredible wingspan and great vertical ability to go up and make incredible catches. However there is a catch.

Green-Beckham has a troubled past. He has not played football since the 2013 season…it’s a long story. In that 2013 season he caught 59 passes for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns with the Missouri Tigers. He was dismissed from Missouri because of legal troubles mostly related to marijuana possession.

With character issues and the rust from not playing for over a year, he has plenty of red flags. He is a very gifted receiver though which makes him a boom or bust player.
