The NFL Draft is a time in which risk and reward are weighed on a second-by-second basis. Some gambles eventually pay off and propel teams to incredible heights, while others fail to pan out.

For the Cincinnati Bengals, the 2015 NFL Draft will determine the future of the organization.

The Bengals have an intriguing cast of offensive playmakers in the likes of A.J. Green and Jeremy Hill, as well as a stout defense. Whether due to injury or general inconsistency, however, Cincinnati underachieved in multiple phases in 2014.

It lost in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season and hasn’t won a postseason game since 1990. Thus, the 2015 NFL Draft is the perfect stage for Cincinnati to come out of its shell and take a chance.

The question is, which prospects qualify as gambles worth making?
