Ernie Accorsi, the former Giants general manager, was not surprised at all Dave Gettleman selected Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Accorsi also anticipated what would come next.
“I’m not worried about the offensive line, he’s already made inroads on that,’’ Accorsi told The Post Friday morning. “He’ll finish the job before this weekend’s over, I’m sure of that.’’
Gettleman may not have finished the job Friday night, but he came close to completing his task in the second round. He used the 34th overall pick to nab Will Hernandez, a powerful and nasty guard from Texas-El Paso, the very definition of the “Hog Mollie’’ player Gettleman adores.
