That explains why our roster was so bad. 

I remember a lot of people excited about Elerson Smith

The incomplete for Ojulari is too generous. I think we've seen enough of him to know what he is. He's played more games than Aaron Robinson, Elerson Smith, and Rodarius Williams combined. Thankfully they have Brian Burns now.

To make worse,  we passed on Slater and Parsons.  And the comp pick Neal has not panned out.    Ouch!

Gettleman got outmaneuvered by Philly who moved up to take Devonta Smith and then couldn't pivot off the pre-planned approach (take a WR in the first round) to either of those two players you mentioned.

The irony is if Gettleman had just drafted Parsons (and assuming the Giants were able to manage Parsons as we as Dallas) or if DG grabbed Slater, no one would have ever talked about the Eagles outmaneuvering the Giants.

It was the outmaneuver combined with the terrible pick of Toney in the trade-down (along with squandering the first-round pick they got on Neal) that made things look so bad

Yes, squandering both picks in the deal (presuming that Neal cannot be reconstituted into a passable asset) certainly hurts. Though, if Neal is truly beyond repair, that falls on Schoen.
