The New York Giants still have a long way to go before they can be considered Super Bowl contenders, but they can expedite the playoff process with a few essential moves.
On Friday morning, the Giants traded OLB Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for star right guard Kevin Zeitler. While the Giants did find themselves a top-tier upgrade on the offensive line, they lost their top pass rusher, which hurts a defense that is already thin at multiple positions.
At this point in the offseason, the offense seems to be stocked with talent, but the cornerback, pass-rusher, and safety units are all lacking.
