One guy's take on Beasley - Never heard of the writer or the cite, was just looking into Beasley as his name seems to be popping up a lot lately. This guy's take seem pretty fair minded:

I have a hunch that there will be two very different and opposing viewpoints on him: One camp will love his ability as a game-changing pass rusher while the other will suggest that he’s a maxed out college star who won’t translate to the NFL. If there’s any one player who will live and die by the post-season NFL Draft process this year, it has to be Beasley. Below are some of his highlights from the 2013 season.

Again, lots to like about Beasly, lots to be concerned about - did not realize he was only 235, thought he was in the 240's. Writer compares him to Bruce Irvin. Strikes me as player with potentially high ceiling but possibly maxing out as a 3rd down specialist.
As I have said, all the OLB guys strike me as risky. Fowler the least but, like Schneed said, he seems to be more of a Kerrigan player that lacks explosion. Gotta say, none of these OLB guys makes me feel particularly confident spending the 5th pick on them.
