What do you think happens with the defensive front 4?

players on the roster that I don’t envision them cutting on the defensive line. A new DC makes it tricky as well.

Dex
Nunez-Roches
Davidson
Phillips
Riley

Horne and Anderson are no lock for the team. I can see them picking up a 6th player for the line after June 1st cuts as the OP suggested.

I do envision packages with two of the players mentioned above and all three of Burns, Thibs, and Ojulari in at the same time. Especially on third and 5+ situations.

and will most likely be in on first two downs. I like the potential of Riley and Davidson and so we may not see any other additions. Could we see a return of the so-called four aces? Perhaps given Bowen's propensity for rushing with the front four. Could move a guy like AO inside with Dex on passing downs or they might have to just see which guy is the best 3Tech to play on those downs.

they will look at the post June 1 cuts and try to find someone to work into the rotation at 3 tech. They couldn't find one in the draft that worked, so they will go that route. That, essentially, would plug all the holes of this off season.
Depth is still spotty (at best), but at least they should be able to then be competitive across the 22.

Lines like Wink.

Dex plays about 70-75% of snaps. Think he’ll be spelled by Davidson when he’s not on the field.

The other spot, I think snaps will mostly be split between Phillips & Riley, with Nacho getting some looks in run situations. They also have a 6th DL - Timmy Horne- who is a sleeper to make the 53. He started 5 games for ATL in 2022.

and Riley may surprise.

and won’t get enough pressure on opposing qbs to protect our abysmal cornerbacks. what do i win?

And now he's got Phillips to chip in some reps.

help draw more attention away from the DT, especially with Dexter getting double teamed.

I agree that pass rush is more of a priority than safety, but then you use the valuable #47 to draft a replacement for this low-priority position.

Building teams involves closing holes, not opening up new ones. Some teams may have so many highly paid players on the roster that they need to unload a good player just to pay the rent. The Giant' are not in that situation right now. DJ's load on the budget will probably go away next season.

Keep McKinney, draft a DT first or second and, if the drafted DT cooperates, you have a defense with few holes. Mostly at corner.

Many here have always been uncomfortable when they have to pay a good player whom they drafted and developed a fair salary compared to others similarly situated.

Maybe they are right, but whatever the Giants have been doing, it hasn't been working. They have let some good players leave.
