“The last time Giants general manager Joe Schoen held two top-10 picks in the NFL Draft, he treated them like a pair.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results discuss Joe Schoen having multiple top-10 picks, with one source specifically mentioning him becoming the first GM to have two separate drafts with multiple top-10 picks for the same franchise, and another referencing his picks in 2022. This indicates the pattern of holding multiple top-10 picks is a recurring theme in reporting about him.

“Schoen drafted edge Kayvon Thibodeaux (at No. 5) instead of an offensive tackle because there were two offensive tackles with virtually the same grade on the Giants’ draft board — Evan Neal (No. 7) and Ikem Ekwonu — and only edge.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results directly support the sequence of events described: Schoen taking Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5 and then Evan Neal at No. 7. One source explicitly states, 'With the fifth pick, they took Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and then took Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal at pick No. 7.' Another source confirms this pairing in the context of his 2022 picks.

“Neal and the Panthers’ Ekwonu are the worst two players in the top 14 of that draft class, and Thibodeaux is closer to the bottom than the top.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim makes a definitive comparative judgment ('worst two players,' 'closer to the bottom') regarding the relative talent levels of three players (Neal, Ekwonu, Thibodeaux) in the top 14. While web search results mention all three players in proximity to each other, no independent, authoritative source corroborates the specific ranking or judgment that Neal and Ekwonu are the 'worst' or that Thibodeaux is 'closer to the bottom' compared to the other two. The evidence is limited to mentions of the players in the context of the draft.
