Teams always covet pass rushers, it's just not an easy position to stock up on. What the Giants have going is pretty rare. I don't think I've seen a d-line able to apply that kind of pressure on their own in a very long time.

Yeah, it is rare. It's hard enough just to get two good ends.
They picked Umenyiora in the 2nd round in '03; Tuck in the 3rd round in '05; and Kiwanuka in the 1st in '06. Clearly, they made a big effort to improve their pass rush, and they hit on each one -- That's hard to do.
I like that mentality though, but that's what you're able to do when you have lots of draft picks year after year. Props to Acorsi on those picks.
