EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- General manager Joe Schoen showed his cards for the first time when free agency opened last week. And he wasn't kidding when it came to how the New York Giants were going to be built.
The Giants will try to lay their foundation through the NFL draft, as Schoen insisted they would do when he was hired in January. They are going to take their lumps this year (something he wasn't quite as willing to admit publicly) as they get their finances in order and begin to reshape a roster arguably in the worst shape it has been in this century.
