1) Malachi Corley

For an early Round 3 pick, Malachi Corley has been a major bust. Only three catches for 16 yards in nine games played? And the old regime had him as the No. 4 receiver on their board!

When Allen Lazard somehow remains on the team despite the departure of his favorite passer and a subsequent pay cut, then something is wrong. An injury during OTAs has only served to harm his case further, and he may be on the outside looking in come mid-June.
