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.

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