Giants Trade Shocks Draft, Rams Face Tougher Path

0:00On April 21st, the New York Giants just shook up the draft by trading their star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the game. Tenth overall pick. Now the Giants hold the fifth and tenth spots, giving them prime ammo to build around their squad while the Bengals beef up their defensive line big. Time. This move ripples straight to the Los Angeles Rams sitting at 13th overall. With that extra top ten pick, the Giants are eyeing wide receivers like Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, who's blowing up after a strong showing. Teams in the top ten, including the Giants, suddenly have more urgency for pass catchers pushing those guys off the board early. If the Rams won an outside threat like Tyson, trading up might be their only play. Edge rushes are about to fly off the board too. Expect the Giants to chase a big splash there, and with needs from the Cowboys, jets and commanders, I see at least four top edges gone in the first. Ten picks. Rams fans hoping for one at 13 could face a thin board unless they jump ahead.

1:03This feels like deja vu from the 2021 draft. Back then, the Bengals grabbed Jermar Chase to supercharge Joe Burrow right before their Super Bowl run, mirroring what they're doing now on defense. The Rams, fresh off a playoff loss and hosting the big game, might need that same receiver spark to flick the script. Rams brass better watch this draft board close trades are coming, and their spot at 13 just got a lot trickier to navigate. Stay locked in for how it all shakes out.
