Giants’ GM Joe Schoen completely threw Dave Gettleman under the bus for awful offensive line construction

Essentially, Schoen perceived that Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley failed to reach their potential due to poor OL performance. Not only did it put too much pressure on the players, but it disrupted the flow of playcalling from the coaching staff.

The 2022 NFL draft represents a fantastic opportunity to add more talent, especially since the Giants have the 5th and 7th overall selections. Beyond the first round, that is where general managers make their money. The middle rounds have been a graveyard for the Giants during Gettleman’s tenure, but Schoen had tremendous success finding solid players who contribute not only as starters but as depth pieces as well.

During Schoen’s four years with Buffalo, they landed a number of quality linemen, including Wyatt Teller, Dion Dawkins, Cody Ford, and Tommy Doyle/Spencer Brown, who were both rookies this past season and started a combined 24 games.

The expectation is that the Giants will draft at least two offensive linemen to bolster the trenches and potentially spend a bit of money to upgrade a spot with a veteran. Luckily, they already have the left tackle position settled, with Andrew Thomas coming off a phenomenal sophomore campaign. However, there’s a lot of work left to be done, and we can be confident that Schoen understands the task at hand.
