Average at best, but better than what the Giants have seen in some time
He battled injury last season and then was platooned at RG.
Those PFF numbers don't scream "10 million/year" to me. They look similar to what Glowinski's scores looked like prior to joing the Giants if I remember correctly.
Love getting a starting guard. But agree those are very average PFF #s
Seems we over paid.

On day one of free agency, that's a given
" Ruyan is a plus pass protector on nthe interior with considerable starting experience at both guard spots over his rookie contract operating well in a phone booth with a solid anchor against power rushers. However, the former 6th rounder can get his feet crossed up and end up on the ground morev frequently then you would like, particularly when asked to pull or reach block"

The #Giants sign former Packer OG Jon Runyan to a three-year, $30 million, including $17 million guaranteed, per
@AdamSchefter
Runyan is 26 y/o with 3,330 snaps under his belt, 1,611 snaps at LG, and 1,709 at RG.
Runyan has allowed 64 pressures in his career and surrendered 7 sacks...He allowed 22 pressures and 2 sacks last season while committing 6 penalties - he's committed 8 in his career.
Schoen got his guy to fortify the IOL
His numbers aren't earth shattering, but I believe he is an improvement over anyone we had playing guard last season. And hopefully our new OL Coach can bring him up a notch or two. I hope this doesn't nix our drafting a guard in what is supposed to be a strong O-Line draft though.
My only questions are how does he handle stunts and inside twists and can he pull in the run game?

he's somewhat clumsy as the rumor goes.
Lets sign a Tackle.... Move Neal to RG ... Runyon at LG
Be done with the line (For now)
Resign Mckinney
If we miss out on one of the QB's .... draft Nabers or whoever at WR
Draft an EDGE and DT next few rounds
Let the youngin start at RB
Another overpay by dumb Schoen. Packer fans on twitter say he's average, almost got replaced, but for the Giants he's better than what they have.
Schoen could not be a worse GM if he tried. fully expect him to trade up for JJ McCarthy given his stupid moves so far.
Not a fan of the price tag but this is who they targeted on day 1 so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They may see something more in him that what he's shown so far. Let's hope he plays with as much heart as his old man.

Just likes Schoen "saw more in" parris campbell, mark glowinski, etc??
He has been proven to be absolutely clueless and constantly overpays on guys he likes.

Schoen has a lot to prove. I don't disagree.
Godammit, when do we sign someone we can actually be excited about? So sick of these baragain bin players for full price. Great Day One: We lose Barkley and McKinny and pick up a "serviceable" Guard. F&%$#!
FWIW, Randy Mueller had him as his 3rd best FA Olineman (19th overall)
I'd be lying if I said I was ecstatic about this signing. I appreciate that OG is a big area of need, but this still feels like an overpay. Overpaying for a mediocre free agent because he happens to play a position that we're desperately in need of was the hallmark of the Gettleman era.
With that said, I'm not a Packers fan and haven't studied this guy closely. So I'll give Schoen the benefit of the doubt for now. But I can't say I'm ecstatic about this. For $10mm per I want an above average starting guard. I don't expect a star for that kind of money obviously, but I want more than mediocrity.

Stop with the overpaying BS and take a look at the red hot market for guards. That is a fair market price for a solid starting guard. There is such a lack of quality offensive line talent that any improvement through free agency is going to carry a premium. I said it last week before big money started rolling in for guards.

Seriously. The negativity is tiring. I get we all vent at times. But I come here to chill, talk football, not get burdened with gripes. I actually really enjoy following the offseason moves every year as the roster reshapes

It's not negativity it's the truth. This is objectively an average Oline player who was overpaid just like nearly all of Schoen's contracts.

$10mm AAV puts him in the top 20 in the league. Considering that 64 guards start weekly in weeks with no byes, it would seem we're paying this guy to be above average. I get that every year the numbers go up and one cannot 100% accurately analyze this in the static way that I have, but it still gives you a general idea.
As I said in my post, I don't know enough about this player to say if this was a good signing or not. It would be lazy of me to just look at the league-wide guard pay scale and look at his PFF grades and make a conclusive statement based only on those two inputs. Still, I don't think it's unreasonable to have an initial feel for a move, and my initial feel is that this feels like a bit of a reach. Note that I said "feels like", and not "is."
I am personally a believer that there is never any justification for blatantly overpaying for a player. I'm not saying we have here - I am just stating my general belief. Being willing to overpay for a free agent because the "market is hot" or because we're desperate for that position is how you wind up with Nate Solder and Kenny Golladay on awful contracts. I have generally been a significant Schoen fan, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that that isn't going to be the case here, but my guard is up (no pun intended) on this move.

Well put. I'm not one to only focus on PFF either BUT the comments from Truthful Packer fans has my opinion actually as yours.
Schoen's nasty habit of overpaying guys who "could" be above average is why we are where we are at. Darren Waller? Daniel Jones? Glowinski? You pay for performance not potential.

The market has been reset this offseason. Only a fraction of those starting guards have had the opportunity to take advantage of the new market. You can't compare what he got paid to a guy who signed three years ago. You can only compare him to what guys are getting now and of the guards that have agreed to terms so far that past couple of days he's near the bottom.

I get that, and I acknowledged that in my previous post. I understand it's not a static analysis. However I still think that $10mm, even in the reset market, should carry with it an expectation of "solid starter" level play. I hope that's what we're getting.

He's always been above average in pass pro. With Barkley leaving and the Giants potentially drafting a new quarterback one has to wonder if they're willing to overpay for better blocking in the passing game even if it's to the detriment of the running game. This is the penalty teams have to pay when they have a desperate need at a position with no depth league wide. Everyone looking for a starting guard is going to get their eyes ripped out.
Runyan will be above average in pass pro and a bit below average in run blocking. He is better at LG so maybe we slot him there with whoever loses RT out of Neal, Eluemunor competing with Ezeudu, McKethan in camp to play RG. Bricillo did well with a mixed array of talent in Vegas so I am optimistic we will get at least league average OL play. My biggest worry is AT not staying fit.
