4. Who Takes A Chance On Dorial Green-Beckham?

Dorial Green-Beckham has unreal ability as a wide receiver but his infatuation with marijuana, his incident with domestic violence and his one year absence from the football field make him a risky pick to say the least. So which team will gamble on the gifted wide receiver.

I have seen him mock drafted to the Baltimore Ravens, though the Ravens made it clear they would not draft a player with domestic violence on their resume. This leaves the Indianapolis Colts, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks as the most realistic possibilities.

Green-Beckham to the Colts would make a lot of sense. The Colts added Andre Johnson in free agency, but Green-Beckham is a more talented and more long-term answer at the receiver position. The Colts have other needs though.

There is a team that I have not mentioned that makes a lot of sense for Green-Beckham. The Kansas City Chiefs, who pick 18th overall could be the answer to this question. Green-Beckham and Jeremy Maclin would be a prolific combination for the Chiefs.
