This is a team that had 3 outstanding DEs that decided to use a first round pick on Kiwanuka.
So I think using the Giants is a bad example because this is a team that is loaded at DE only because they used a lot of high picks on DEs. It's not a team that were lucky to have good enough backups to effectively replace Umenyiora and Strahan.

Yeah but didn't they draft Kiwanuka and plan as using him as a LB? They ended up moving him back to DE because Usi got hurt.
