Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, Giants jerseys
GM Jerry Reese admitted that drafting JPP was a big risk, and the 15th overall pick comes with questions about his maturity and college production after playing just one season at USF. Although freakishly athletic, he was considered by many to be a workout warrior.
If nothing else, Pierre-Paul figures to get caught in a numbers game as a rookie. The team's best defensive player, Justin Tuck, holds down once defensive end spot while Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka figure to split snaps on the other side. Consider this a redshirt year for Pierre-Paul.
Derrick Morgan, DE, Titans
Originally considered a steal when he fell to No. 16 overall, Morgan has had an inauspicious start to his new Titans jerseys career. While sitting out spring practices with hamstring and calf injuries, Morgan was arrested for speeding and driving with a suspended license.
There is a vacancy in Kyle Vanden Busch's old spot, but Morgan is fighting an uphill battle after missing so much practice time in May and June. With veteran pass rushers Jacob Ford, Dave Ball, and Jason Babin also in the mix, the Titans can afford to bring Morgan along slowly.
Taylor Mays, SS, new 49ers jerseys
Mays was perhaps the most controversial prospect in this year's draft. Although freakishly talented at 6-foot-3, 230 with 4.3 speed, he managed just two interceptions in his final three years at USC and made two career tackles for loss as a four-year starter.
Mays spent the majority of the offseason running with the third team. Although the coaching staff is impressed with his progress entering training camp, his coverage skills remain a major question mark. Reggie Smith still looks like the favorite to enter the season as the No. 3 safety, with Mays starting out as a special teams dynamo.
