Rusty,

I wouldn't be against this deal. Given the rules today, the pass rush
is the best defense against opposing pass offenses as the Giants
proved beyond doubt at the end of last season with fairly pedestrian
corners. The days of drafting so-called "shut-down" corners in the
high first round should be coming to an end.
