10. BOBBY OKEREKE, NEW YORK GIANTS
A career-high 78.9 PFF grade highlighted the best season of Okereke's career, his first with the Giants. The 2019 third-round draft pick ranked ninth at the position with an 82.5 PFF coverage grade, and he was one of the surest tacklers in the league, missing just 7.7% of his attempts

Bobby may be the best FA signing of Schoen's Giants career, to date.

I agree, but let's hope that he can repeat his great performance in 2024, and not regress.

I would say that is an accurate statement.

I think his presence on this team was more beneficial to the rest of our players than some of the LB'ers with higher PFF grades. His hard-nose playing style is "catching" (like a virus) to the younger players around him. And I agree...the best signing of Schoen's career at the helm. That could change if Burns lives up to his hype though

I wish they would give Coughlin more time at Lber too.  He is a sure tackler and has a nose for loose balls

Will he continue to be used effectively under a new DC and scheme?

That's a fair statement; he's solidly good every week.

I don't know that Bowen has ever had a legit MLB in his defense ever.

He comes from the Vrabel/Belichick D tree, so I expect Bobby OK to be used like Donta Hightower was in New England back in the day. Used as a versatile defender in the middle of the field that calls plays and can fill multiple roles.
