New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen believes his team has a solid offensive structure. All he needs now is a quarterback to run it.
“The way we built our roster, four of our five starting offensive linemen coming back,” Schoen said in an interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio at the Senior Bowl this week. “In Malik Nabers, you have a No. 1 receiver on the roster. Young tight end that was really promising this year in Theo Johnson. And Tyrone Tracy. The cupboard’s not bare offensively.”
Schoen is correct. The Giants have been solidifying the offensive line and adding weapons at the skill positions since Scheon took over the reins in 2022.
Schoen had a great draft last season with Nabers, Johnson, and Tracy but unfortunately, his track record in his first two seasons has fallen short.
Schoen added what he thought were cornerstone pieces in the draft: center John Michael Schmitz and right tackle Evan Neal. The jury is still out on both players, and Neal is getting very close to bust status.
Wide receiver Wan’dale Robinson has become a reliable short-yardage option but Jalin Hyatt has been a disappointment thus far. Tight end Daniel Bellinger and running back Eric Gray have been pushed down the depth chart by Johnson and Tracy, respectively.
The need for a quarterback is of the utmost importance and urgency. Schoen realizes he only has one under contract (Tommy DeVito) and explained that the team will use all available avenues to fill the quarterback room this offseason — the draft, free agency, and even a possible trade.
