Giants source said Joe Schoen vs. Adam Peters "was almost a dead heat" before final decision was made. So Schoen by a nose… and now it's time for another equally important horse race.

Can’t be upset about hiring Joe Schoen
The #Giants desperately need to turn around status quo and fix the problem areas on the roster
This job will not be an easy one, but drafting well can expedite the process.
Welcome to this part of New York (cough *technically NJ* cough)

After the Joe Judge firing, I really didn't think there was any chance Patrick Graham would stay as the Giants DC.
BUT Patrick Graham did work with Brian Daboll & Brian Flores in New England and then being Flores' DC in Miami.
Maybe Graham wouldn't mind sticking around.
