NFL teams like the Chicago Bears work for weeks and months trying to determine which players will be the best fit for their organization in the NFL draft that runs from April 30 to May 2. Some players can be viewed as safe, meaning teams know what they are going to get if they choose them, but many can be classified as boom-or-bust prospects. 

Boom-or-bust prospects are players who have terrific upside but still have plenty of questions marks surrounding their off-field issues, injury history or lack of experience against top-level talent.

Even though safe players might make the most sense for the Bears in this year’s draft due to the team’s overwhelming need for youth and production on both sides of the football, there are a handful of boom-or-bust prospects who may be too tough to pass up.

There are a few players in this year’s draft who are worth gambling on because they have the potential to help the Bears not only this upcoming season but also in the future.

Here are five boom-or-bust prospects the Bears should gamble on in the 2015 NFL draft.
