The 2015 NFL Draft is a make or break moment for the New York Giants. The Giants need to bring in value with each selection, it is absolutely critical that they draft players who will make great contributions for years to come. This is why the Giants must evaluate every player and know the risks involved in each draft pick.

I have always said that an NFL Draft pick is nothing more or less than an investment for the NFL teams. When you make an investment you want to project what you are going to get out of it. Before investing in a future NFL player general managers must decide which red flags they can and cannot take a chance on.

The following slideshow features players who either have red flags or have problems with their game that may limit their potential. A red flag is anything that may prevent a team from drafting an otherwise intriguing prospect. These are the riskiest selections in the NFL Draft. They could also pay out huge dividends.

Not every player on this list has character concerns or off the field problems. Some of the prospects on this list are simply imperfect football players with limitations that give me reservations on draft day.
