Summary

The New York Giants have a BIG problem on their hands as talented defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence has now demanded a trade due to contract issues. While this is a run-of-the-mill issue in the NFL, the timing is not great for a new Giants coaching staff with a lot of young players. This is not the tone the Giants want to set in the locker room. The Arizona Cardinals are a team getting their offseason going and the offense will have a lot to do with the trust factor for Mike LaFleur. That means sticking and picking their offensive lineman of choice at three is the right move. The Las Vegas Raiders also need to get off to a good start or their plan to go with Kirk Cousins will look even more silly than it does right now. Finally, the Cleveland Browns need offensive help for their offensive head coach, but going best player available might be the route they have to go if a trade down doesn't materialize. The Miami Dolphins might be a team that trades up with their mountain of draft capital.
