Giants’ Joe Schoen tried to ‘plant the seed’ for NFL draft trade with Patriots at combine
NY Post
The seeds of a potential draft day deal between the Giants and Patriots appeared to begin to blossom during the 2024 NFL combine, the second episode of “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” revealed Tuesday night.
Though the Patriots ended up using the No. 3 overall pick to take Drake Maye in the April draft, the Giants did reportedly make an offer to New England in an attempt to move up to that spot.
The docuseries showed Giants general manager Joe Schoen approached the Patriots during the combine in Indianapolis in March to inquire about the pick.
The HBO cameras captured Schoen as he spoke with assistant GM Brandon Brown in a suite inside Lucas Oil Stadium about how he was going to approach the Patriots to gauge interest in a swap.
“You going to take a trek down there?” Brown asked Schoen.
“Yeah, I’m just going to go down there and say, ‘Hey before you do anything at three just make sure you let us know,’” Schoen responded. “Just plant the seed if you are going to move the pick don’t do so without at least giving us a call. … We’re interested.”
