The Giants’ general manager sat in front of a microphone on Thursday and talked about what a “tremendous talent” Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is, adding that his attributes are so obvious “he’s one of those guys my mother could have scouted.” It sure sounded like he’d be the pick.
He raved about the class of quarterbacks in the draft, saying each was a different flavor that made him feel like he was “sitting in Ben & Jerry’s.” He said he believes Eli Manning “still has plenty of arm left,” called it “hogwash” that the Giants needed to draft a quarterback with the valuable No.
