Hijacking my thread a bit ......nugget on other players the Giants GM got rid of
•Xavier McKinney: A consistent Pro Bowler Schoen undervalued. Schoen never attempted to extend him during his final year of his deal claiming that “his pockets were empty” When McKinney got a top safety offer (17M/year), Schoen refused to match, opting to draft a replacement who hasn’t come close to producing a fraction of what X is doing and has done for the Giants. Today X is the runaway DPOY favorite leading the league in interceptions and leading the top defense in the league and in recent memory. •Saquon Barkley: Played hardball with the face of the franchise, tagging him and ultimately letting him walk for nothing. Now, Saquon is setting records and is the MVP front-runner for the Eagles. •Draft Misfires: Picks #5 (Thibodeaux) and #7 (Neal) in a stacked draft haven’t lived up to expectations. Thibodeaux is reportedly expected to be placed on the trade block this offseason, and Neal is unplayable. Schoen also missed on premium day 2 picks such as Cordale Flott, Josh Ezeudu, who were early 3rd round picks and reached on other selections like wandale robinson who was a projected 6th round pick and Schoen opted to draft him over a guy like George Pickens or stand pat and taking a guy like breece hall
