Build the Right Way

mittenedman : 6/8/2024 8:25 pm
Something Schoen's been preaching since he was hired is building things the right way. A sustainable winner. Through the draft, with homegrown players the fans can get behind. It takes longer than going for quick strikes in free agency. Buying a ring.

He's also preached positional value in the draft. These are his premium picks in the 1st 2 rounds since he's been here, and his big ticket free agent contracts:

QB - Daniel Jones (27, 2027)
WR1 - Malik Nabers (21, 2028)
WR2 - Jalin Hyatt (23, 2027)
slot - Wan'dale Robinson (23, 2026)
LT - Andrew Thomas (25, 2030)
C - John Michael Schmitz (25, 2027)
RT - Evan Neal (24, 2026)
DE - Brian Burns (26, 2029)
DE - Kayvon Thibodeaux (24, 2026)
DT - Dexter Lawrence (27, 2028)
3-down MLB - Bobby Okereke (28, 2027)
CB1 - Tae Banks (23, 2027)
S - Tyler Nubin (23, 2028)

This is the core of the football team. Pretty much the definition of built through the draft. That is more impact players than they've had in the past, enough to steer the team to wins. Following how this group of 13 develops is the story of the season. If these guys are clicking, they actually have some decent role players around them if not asked to do too much.
I've been critical of Schoen, but he's planted his best seeds in the right places, and people could be sleeping on this team, especially with Daboll taking over playcalling.
Good post.

Schoen has done a great job of rebuilding the core of this team. As we know the

Thing that separates great teams from the mediocre teams is the ability to draft

And develop players drafted on day two and day three.

I’m looking at guys like

McFadden

Belton

Gray

Flott

Bellinger

Johnson

Philips

A few others Riley, Davidson, Ezeudu. These players to me are truly the difference makers.

Good post.  
bceagle05 : 6/8/2024 9:12 pm : link
Definitely more talent now than there’s been over the last few years.

Need at least one of Neal or JMS to be part of the solution up front though.
Say what you want about Schoen  
Breeze_94 : 6/8/2024 9:23 pm : link
But about 90% of his picks in the first 4-5 rounds I’ve liked at the time of the selection. Only ones I didn’t love were Ezeudu and Flott. Was lukewarm on Belton, Phillips & Hyatt. Loved the rest of em (Thibs, Neal, WDR, Banks, JMs, Nabers, Nubin, Gray, Tracy, Johnson
An unbiased assessmemt  
gridirony : 6/8/2024 9:48 pm : link
Jones - not GM's pick, sucks against .500+ teams
Nabors - unproven, but tremendous potential
Hyatt - young, has more potential than shown
Robinson - can this talent stay healthy
Thomas - not GM's pick, offensive cornerstone
JMS - total ? if he'll be good
Neal - see JMS
Burns - not building through draft, needs to stop running past QB on rush
Thibodeaux - needs to show up every game
Lawrence - not GM's pick, defensive cornerstone
Okereke- not building through draft, a big play player
Banks - excellent coverage man, and only a rookie
Nubin - unproven, very good potential

There are far too many question marks as to whether that is the core of sustainable winning. More time may tell. If everything clicks, and each player makes the other players around them better, winning could come this year.

On paper, not the field, it certainly looks better than the recent past.

Good post indeed  
ThomasG : 6/8/2024 9:56 pm : link
If Schoen can get everybody on board and execute an investment in a new QB then maybe we’ll really have something.

A number of those players were not free agents or top two round picks.

Schoen's built the core of the team pretty evenly through Gettleman picks, trades, free agency, and the draft.
It's all down to the OL and player health  
Paulie Walnuts : 6/8/2024 10:22 pm : link

What concerns me is the offense.  
Red Right Hand : 6/8/2024 11:20 pm : link
we have no one with any history of NFL production at RB OR TE besides Singletary and Bellinger.

Tracy might be nie, Johnson might be nice, but as of now neither has done anything, nor any of the other RBs or TEs currently on the roster, assuming Waller flakes, which seems likely.
On that list, outside of Thomas and Lawrence,

Just continues to have the The Blue Shafes fixated.

Whatever- hope they win. GM and Coach probably aren't getting the job done yaer 3 - we'll still be Dallas and Philly's bitch in which Wash may seem to have a better future.

We'll see.
The plan is fine  
Bill in UT : 6/9/2024 1:29 am : link
It'll come down to whether the players are right. We've got 4 proven guys- Thomas, Okereke, Burns and Dex. No one else has put together 2 top level seasons. The potential is there, but let's see this year if it comes together.
By my count 5 of the 13  
TrueBlue56 : 6/9/2024 6:40 am : link
Are either free agent acquisitions or players here under gettleman. Joe Schoen just had his 3rd draft. Andrew Thomas had his detractors on here after his 1st year and even some after his 2nd season. Dexter didn't become the player he was until Wink came in and moved him to DT.

The players drafted under Schoen are entering their 3rd, 2nd or rookie year. Thibodeaux will benefit with the addition of Burns. Evan Neal remains to be seen. Wandale Robinson has shown his ability and he will benefit with Nabers and Hyatt stretching defenses.

Last year, Banks more than held his own as a rookie. JMS, while not bad needs to improve and I believe he will.

This year, Nabers looks like he will garner a lot of attention from opposing defenses and that will open up the other wide receivers and running game. Tyler Nubin has potential.

What I see is Joe Schoen focusing on premium positions in the first round of the draft (offensive tackle, wide receiver, cornerback and pass rusher).

In the 2nd round, while some may not be premium positions, he addressed offensive line, safety and wide receiver.
For me, the biggest questions are Neal and Schmitz. If they improve  
Ira : 6/9/2024 6:47 am : link

Better overall talent and potential  
MarvelousMike : 6/9/2024 7:01 am : link
than 3 years ago. However, we still have a team with the average age being a top 5 lowest in the league. They have been on the wrong side of the curve when it comes to injuries and need to have a year or two when they have near the lowest to allow development to actually occur.
First time GM in Schoen so hopefully the learning curve there has flattened out and there will be less staff changes.

robbieballs2003 : 6/9/2024 8:18 am : link
"More games are lost than won in the NFL". What that means is it isn't always the teams that make the plays, it is the team that makes the fewest mistakes. I agree that his approach to the draft is more than fine. However, having Neal not work out yet as a top 7 picks, giving Jones that horrendous contract, hanging on to Barkley and McKinney too long and not trading them are all big mistakes that have really overshadowed anything he has done well. Long story short, every GM will have misses but you can't miss big like those misses and expect to compete when you are trying to rebuild a team. Successful teams like the Eagles can miss on Wentz with his contract and make up for it with Hurts. This is a very pivotal year.
Look we all know which name probably doesn't belong on the OP's  
nygiantfan : 6/9/2024 8:27 am : link
list under the "building the right way" theme. It is fairly remarkable a QB can play at that level, pile up injury concerns, and still keep a starting job. I have never seen anything like it in my time of watching ANY sport.

I do, however, like the flow of investments into WR, OL and Edge. If Neal begins to play like he at least belongs in the NFL this is clearly a much better roster than the Dave Gettleman years.

Winning still probably gets capped though until an upgrade is found at QB.

I also don't how much the build through the draft purity test holds when the Giants traded the 39th pick and a 4/9.4M contract for the opportunity to sign a veteran player to a 5/141M contract.
The drafts have been a huge issue  
Lines of Scrimmage : 6/9/2024 10:05 am : link
FA fell off significantly as well. Just a really bad job by the front office for over a decade.

It took 16 drafts to add another AP OL in AT (Snee 2004) in the draft and 9 years on the DL from JPP to Dex.

First three seasons of TC/EA they added a lot of talent on the OL/Front 7 via both DP/FA. 8 good to great players.

This regime is still behind imv but maybe this is the year they finally leave the great destruction of the Giants LoS phase.

I have no idea what any of that has to do with anything.

The opening post is lauding Schoen building through the draft. And arguably the biggest move he made on the defensive side of the ball was trading a top 40 draft pick, to sign a player a from a different team to the 3rd highest defensive contract in league history.

I think it was a great move. I think a team needs to succeed at roster building with every tool at their disposal.

If Schoen knows what he is doing, (which is highly questionable if 80M-2 year/160M-4 year Jones doesn't step up his game) then Burns contract will likely be restructured over the very long term.

The Giants just can't have Jones, Thomas, Dex and Burns eating up a huge portion of the cap. Between the four of them, they don't put a lot of points on the board.
 
christian : 6/9/2024 11:46 am : link
Lawrence and Thomas are on very good contracts. Relative to their output (assuming they play), they are great values.

Burns and Jones are the financial wildcards. If they underperform their value, the Giants will not contend for a championship.

We're not rebuilding the right way. Management has been an illogical disaster. And we still have a laughably bad player at QB.

But yea... it's the right way.
 
christian : 6/9/2024 11:59 am : link
Schoen has exhibited some good instincts. He's invested heavily in the pass rush and secondary on defense. On offense he's invested heavily in pass protection and the pass catching positions. Modern football is not a complicated game: throw the ball, stop the pas. Everything else is in service to that.

UConn4523 : 6/9/2024 12:00 pm : link
how else do teams build if it’s not through the draft? Outside of outliers like the Rams, draft picks panning out pretty much determines success. Schoen isn’t doing anything 30 other teams aren’t trying to do.

On the presumed 53 man roster for Dallas they probably will have 8 players that have played for another organization.

QB Rush, 1 year with NYG
QB Lance, SF
RB Elliott, 1 year with NE
WR Cooks, various
LB Kendricks, Minnesota mainly
S Hooker, Indy
P Anger, LAR
LS Sieg, LV


This is probably not a fair comparison because Dallas probably has the most home grown talent of any roster in the NFL.

The one thing Reese was a master at as a scout and initially as GM was not finding just contributors but really really good players late in the draft. A guy like Gibril Wilson while not a star - helped a lot. Bradshaw, Diehl, Jacobs, Jacquin Williams were all big parts of both SBs.

And of course he hit some major home runs in UDFA and free agency.

to many missing pieces  
DavidinBMNY : 6/9/2024 2:18 pm : link
While the process is sound, the results are elusive.

I'm not sure the Giants have enough talent to have 5 NFL starters. CB2 and RB2 are huge questions. QB is mediocre at best.

On top of that some of those really young draftees from year 1 and year 2 need to develop - fast.

I agree 100% and have been beating that drum for a while. I understand people are bearish on this team due to the last 12 years, but I have high expectations for this roster. If they stay healthy and don't win games, we've got the wrong guy picking the players or coaching the players.
I direct that at Jones specifically too.  
mittenedman : 6/9/2024 3:06 pm : link
He's got a good Offensive Head Coach who will be calling plays this year. He's got an All Pro LT and a nice WR trio with what looks like an elite WR1. Even if the OL blows, he's got plenty to work with at WR (like Burrow).

Win, or the Giants made a mistake with you. Nobody's reputation survives this team staying healthy and losing.

And when you tell another poster "you know this . . ."-- Well you knwo QB is the most importoant position in the NFL. Please expalin where "the masterclass" has evovled for this position during his tenure?

And a 2nd rd Safety is "Masterclass" drafting?

how else do teams build if it’s not through the draft? Outside of outliers like the Rams, draft picks panning out pretty much determines success. Schoen isn’t doing anything 30 other teams aren’t trying to do.

Man, he really got us!! There’s a reason why googs has been banned more than any poster on this site. There’s a reason why he brings absolutely nothing intelligent to this site. There’s a reason why he has more handles than anyone on this site.

If you haven’t figured out why Googs, you are not that bright son. And this just proves it. This I probably one of the funniest things I’ve read now on this site.

Win, or the Giants made a mistake with you. Nobody's reputation survives this team staying healthy and losing.


Imo unless the team implodes, Schoen/Daboll have a little more time. Especially Schoen.

If Jones continues to play poorly, he's gone after this season.

Snorkels : 6/10/2024 2:38 pm : link
as usual I'm way late to the actual discussion, but it is something I have thought a lot about. First, there probably is no one way to build a team because no matter how its built you have to have good players. at the same time I really think the old 'build thru the draft' mantra, even though so many managers and coaches still swear by it, is kind of last century. Just think of the numbers. Just about every team turns it roster over about every 5 years and in any 5 year period a team will get @ 40 picks, but given the overall odds of success of draft picks - less than 50% when all rounds are figured - no team unless they get really likely can expect to get more than 15-20 players out of their drafts in any 5 year period. As a result, what I believe you almost have to do is find your key core impact players at impact positions with your high picks and then fill in the blanks as best as you can with later round picks and free agents. And given that it is a passing league those impact positions are QB, pass rushers, CBs, WRs and OTs (and especially LTs). Again I don't think one necessarily wants to be doctrinaire about it and pass on really good players early on at other positions, but if you are going to take players at other positions you really want them to be really good players and not just to fill a hole.

As an aside, while I was personally hoping that the Giants would take Nabers at #6 I am still more than a little surprised that they didn't take a QB there. My sense is that it may very well have come down to what Daboll wanted and/or pushed for in that he could have his own QB or stick with Jones while building up the weapons package available to the QB and he opted for the latter. We shall see.
