Three first-round selections: Cornerback Deonte Banks, Outside Linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Tackle Evan Neal.

Thibodeaux, 31, Neal, 20, and Banks, 15, have each started every career game they’ve played.

In his first two seasons as General Manager, Schoen led the New York Giants (NYG) to a win-loss record of 15-18-1. In 2022, the team had a 9-7-1 record, winning the Wild Card Round at Minnesota but losing the Division Round at Philadelphia. The following year, in 2023, they had a 6-11 record.

Schoen took over from David Gettleman, who served as the NYG General Manager from 2018 to 2021.

During the span, the New York Giants (NYG) had a win-loss record of 19-46, ranking 29th in the NFL.

The Giants haven’t selected a Pro Bowler in the past four NFL Drafts (2020-2023).

Defensive Tackle Dexter Lawrence (a 2019 first-round pick) and Safety Julian Love (a 2019 fourth-round pick) are the most recent players drafted by the New York Giants to be selected for a Pro Bowl. Both were drafted under the management of Gettleman.

In March 2023, the Giants renewed QB Daniel Jones’ contract for four years, costing $160.0M.

In 2023, Jones participated in 6 games with a win-loss record of 1-5, 2 passing touchdowns, and 6 interceptions.

In the 2022 season, Jones achieved a career-best passer rating of 92.5, with 15 pass touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

Over the last four seasons, Jones has achieved 38 pass touchdowns, with 24 of those being in 2019 during his rookie year.

This offseason, the Giants allowed their running back Saquon Barkley to depart in free agency, and he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Since 2018, Barkley has averaged 98.8 scrimmage yards per game with the New York Giants, ranking him 5th among running backs during that span.

Since 2018, Barkley has scored 47 scrimmage touchdowns, making him the only New York Giants player who has scored over 20 touchdowns during this period.

In March 2024, the New York Giants (NYG) traded for Carolina Panthers’ Outside Linebacker (OLB) Brian Burns and extended his contract for five years, amounting to $141.0 million.

Sent: 2024 Second Round (#39), 2024 Fifth Round (#141) and 2025 Fifth Round in exchange for Burns and a 2025 Fifth Round pick.

In each of his first 5 seasons in the NFL, Burns has managed to achieve a minimum of 7.5 sacks.

In 2023, the Giants only managed to record 34 sacks, tying them for 28th place in the NFL.

In the last five Drafts, the Giants have chosen a top-60 pick for every offensive and defensive position except for running back, tight end, and linebacker.
