2015 NFL Mock Draft: Most Polarizing Prospects and Full 1st-Round Predictions

One of the great things about the NFL draft is even the best scouts can be wrong. When there is significant disagreement about certain prospects, it makes the process even more fun.

Most Polarizing Players

Randy Gregory, DE, Nebraska

There seems to be little agreement when it comes to Randy Gregory. The talented pass-rusher is considered by some to be an easy top-10 pick, while others expect him to still be on the board toward the end of the first round.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock broke down the risk, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

On the plus side, the Nebraska star is an exceptional athlete who has the versatility to play a few different positions on defense. Whether he ends up on the defensive line or as a blitzing linebacker, he knows how to get to the quarterback.

However, he is still raw as well as undersized for the position at 235 pounds. Add this to a failed drug test at the combine, and Gregory remains a big question mark heading into draft day.

There is a good possibility someone will take a chance on him early, but it remains to be seen which team makes the move.

Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Missouri

This is a classic example of talent mixed with off-field issues. When it comes to football ability, there are few who will question Dorial Green-Beckham as an elite player.

Charles Davis of NFL Network gave a couple of pretty encouraging comparisons:

The 6'5" receiver is a fluid runner who can go up and get just about any ball in his area and be an immediate threat in the red zone. If he reaches his potential, Green-Beckham could be one of the top players in the league at his position.

An NFL scout told Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com:

"

He might be [the] most talented receiver in the draft. He’s big and has great speed. He’s Randy Moss. He can go up and get it. In the red zone, he’s dangerous. But with the domestic stuff at this time in the NFL, his off-the-field is troubling.

"

That last part is where the problem lies with Green-Beckham. The receiver was dismissed from Missouri when he was the subject of a domestic violence investigation. He also has two marijuana-related arrests.

It only takes one team to take a chance on a prospect, and it seems like a good bet someone will do that in the first round.

Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

Every quarterback entering the league is put under the microscope, but at this point, everyone seems to know Marcus Mariota will either be a game-changing player in the NFL or a huge bust.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller discussed his own struggles rating the Oregon star:

Mariota was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in college football history while putting up huge numbers and leading the Ducks to plenty of wins. With his ability to make an impact with both his arm and legs, it's no wonder the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering taking him with the No. 1 overall pick, according to ESPN's Ron Jaworski, via Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com.

The problem is Oregon's offense is very different than one he would likely see in the NFL, and it is unknown how his game will translate. He likely won't have as much success with quick passes and screens as he did in college.

Meanwhile, some coaches are concerned Mariota is "too nice" to be an NFL quarterback, as Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost recently revealed to Tyson Alger of The Oregonian.

Each organization will have its own opinion on the quarterback, although we likely won't see who is right until well after the draft.
