The Giants ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The cost of the Bowen reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On value alone, Downs makes the weekend a net positive.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, with Caleb Downs leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
