2.03 New Orleans Chocolate City - WR Dorial Green-Beckham

In the real world: Green-Beckham has the speed of A.J. Green and the size and strength of Calvin Johnson, and set a national record for career receiving yards at Hillcrest High in Springfield, Missouri (6,356). He's a Top 10 talent but has serious off-field concerns (kicked off Missouri a year ago after allegedly forcing himself into an apartment and pushing a woman down the stairs; also had two marijuana arrests prior to that). Furthermore, ESPN's Jon Gruden says that DGB didn't even live up to his talent at Mizzou: "He has tremendous size. I just did not see him play to that size. He lined up on the left all the time when he did play, and there were too many plays where he was getting pinned into the boundary and became an ineffective receiver. Route running is a work in progress." Another thing that's scary: In his NFL.com draft profile, one AFC offensive coordinator said DGB was "completely lost" when going over plays, and one NFL personnel director said he didn't take coaching at Missouri. The Titans were able to get him in Round 2 even after trading down several spots; his primary competition for targets will be Justin Hunter, who hasn't impressed much in two seasons in Nashville. Or he could be the possession receiver/red zone threat, with Hunter lining up outside and Kendall Wright in the slot.

In the TUFF world: I already mentioned at 1.03 how the Chocolate City needed all the help it could get at wide receiver. The risk of DBG being a bust isn't so big in Round 2 as it would have been in Round 1, so even in spite of all the negatives I wrote above, that reduced risk serves to magnify the possible reward. In short, New Orleans had to take this guy.
