7 years agoESPN's Todd McShay said it's looking like the New York Giants are dead set on selecting Penn State running back Saquon Barkley at second overall if the Browns pass on him. "It feels inevitable that Saquon Barkley is going to be a NY Giant," McShay said. People in the Giants organization believe in Barkley, and the team may be committed to becoming a physical, run-first team, with Barkley being the face of the franchise for the next 10 years. Some scouts believe that Barkley is a better all-around back than Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, which is really saying something. Even after the G-Men signed Jonathan Stewart in free agency, Barkley would likely become a three-down back immediately in New York if they were to draft him. A strong running game would certainly help take pressure off a declining and aging Eli Manning. Barkley would be a strong early-round fantasy target if he were to land with the Giants.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
