Draft & Prospects#
First-round rookies are adjusting to the speed and complexity of the professional game across early OTAs. In Las Vegas, No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza is taking a cerebral approach to learning Klint Kubiak’s complex offense, treating the playbook “like a fire hose” while reviewing tape of veterans in the system. The Giants successfully locked down their draft class, signing No. 5 overall pick LB Arvell Reese and No. 10 overall pick OL Francis Mauigoa, the latter of whom is already impressing coaches with his elite technique at just 20 years old. Meanwhile, the Titans signed their first-round edge rusher, Keldric Faulk, finalizing their eight-man rookie class.
