Dorial Green-Beckham NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Titans Rookie

STRENGTHS 
An athletically gifted receiver with a huge frame, Dorial Green-Beckham has the natural ability to be a top-10 draft pick. He’s freakishly big and fast, and he could actually stand to drop weight and become twitchier and faster down the field.

He has rare ability to pluck the ball out of the air away from his body and shows great concentration when the ball is in the air. He attacks the football and is able to win jump balls easily. His body control and athleticism shine when he’s tracking the ball or making a play in the end zone.

Green-Beckham naturally adjusts well to the ball and can make ridiculous catches look easy. He’s sure-handed with confidence in his skill set. He has some scoot to his game and will pick up plus yards after the catch on underneath routes (slants, screens) and has good open-field vision.

WEAKNESSES
The off-field issues may outweigh the impressive potential for Green-Beckham, which means he may be drafted much later than his ranking. He had two drug-related arrests from his time at Mizzou and was ultimately dismissed from the team after being accused of burglary and domestic assault after allegedly breaking into an apartment and pushing a woman down a staircase, as Tod Palmer of The Kansas City Star reported. Green-Beckham enrolled at Oklahoma but never played in a game after the NCAA upheld his suspension.

On the field, he’s incredibly raw and ran three routes at Missouri—a fade, a slant and a smoke route, and the slant route wasn’t that pretty. The team drafting him is banking heavily on workouts and scout team looks as a route-runner. He doesn’t play as strong as his size and doesn’t fight for position consistently.

A pattern of off-field issues, a raw profile as a football player and a year away from the game could all line up to push DGB down the board come draft day.

COMBINE NUMBERS
40-Yard Dash: 4.49 seconds
Bench Press: 13 Reps
Vertical Jump: 33.5"
Broad Jump: 119.0"
3-Cone Drill: 6.89 seconds

PRO COMPARISON: Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DGB has the size and hands to be a star, but will teams look past his off-field issues? If he’s dialed in, he's very similar to Mike Evans when he was entering the draft last year.

FINAL GRADE: 7.15/9.00 (Rookie Starter)
