Shade! Young papayas are not at all equipped to deal with your temperatures in full sun. I'd bring your two crispy survivors into the house (and the A/C) and allow them to grow slowly and comfortably until they're a bit more robust. You'll also want to let the soil dry out between waterings - young papayas are very prone to fungal infections, and allowing a dry period (which also mimics the rain cycle in their native habitats) will help to prevent fungal problems from developing.
