Grading NFL offseason deals: How'd the Bengals, Giants do in the Dexter Lawrence trade?

This move places them in direct competition with AFC North rivals who have also made significant defensive investments, as evidenced by the Ravens' league-leading defensive efficiency last season. Fans should monitor how quickly Lawrence integrates into the Bengals' scheme and his impact on their pass rush and run defense throughout the upcoming season.
