The New York Giants select DE Jason Pierre-Paul in the first round
The New York Giants have selected DE Jason Pierre-Paul with the 15th pick of the first round of the NFL Draft. Pierre-Paul is a physical freak as he runs a 4.65 40 despite being 6’5″, 260 pounds. His game is speed around the edge attacking the QB but he has a weakness in his game in trying to deal with a power running game. Look for the Giants to try to get him to add a few pounds in a effort to make him a more complete player. Pierre-Paul only played 1 year at South Florida appearing in 13 games (7 starts) in which he had 45 tackles, 16.5 tackles for a loss, he had 6.5 sacks, batted down 3 passes and he forced 2 fumbles. Pierre-Paul has a huge upside but he only started 1/2 a season in his only year in Division One football so he is probably a tad raw and will need the Giants to coach him up.
