Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals went BIG over the weekend with a blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence. This is an ALL-IN move for the Bengals after missing the playoffs multiple years in a row with Joe Burrow in his prime. Cincinnati needed help on defense and could have been in a bad spot in the NFL Draft, but committing this asset to an aging defensive tackle will always be a risk. The New York Giants are also making a big move here to reset their culture and roster, but to be successful, they of course have to hit on these picks which hasn't always been the Giants' outcome. Finally, the other New York team, the Jets, made a spicy decision to cancel David Bailey's visit, who could be their pick at #2 and this has caused all of the noise about Bailey over the past few weeks to quiet down. Showing it may never have been real at all.
