Saquon Barkley-to-Giants hype takes biggest leap yet

At first it was possible. Now it looks as if it is probable that the Giants take running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick in the draft. Is there another, stronger, word to describe this unfolding scenario?

“It just feels to me like it’s inevitable that Saquon Barkley is going to be a New York Giant,’’ ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said Wednesday on a conference call.

McShay said he is basing this not only on the regard he has for Barkley but also from what he has heard coming out of the Giants.

“I’ve heard really strongly that there are important people in that building who believe in Saquon Barkley, the player, that’s what they want to be,’’ McShay said.
